# SIDE NOTE: For those who argue against email addresses in the OpenId # login form on the grounds of confusion, these 2 email proposals # should be no less "confusing" than trying to educate a user that the # Identity URL they type in (e.g., http://aol.com) is not their # identity. Both will/would take some education.
Except that with this new feature, there would be twice as much confusion. And except that an openid works both as a normal URL and as an OpenID, whereas an email-like-thing may work as an OpenID, but is not always going to work as an email even though it looks like one. So maybe 2.5 times as much confusion. :) -- Jonathan Daugherty JanRain, Inc. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
