I am attempting to be pragmatic. Why add something to the
specification that makes it harder to implement, especially in some of
the most common deployment environments? I mentioned Rails and PHP. We
(JanRain) have library implementations of OpenID 1.1 for Python, PHP,
Ruby, Java, .Net, and Perl. The PHP and Ruby libraries are by far the
most popular of those libraries. I think this is justification for
taking them into account when deciding whether to add a new
complication to the specification. Allowing multiple parameters with
the same name is *a new complication.*
