OK, how about if we define a new Privacy Policy <Service> for RPs to
include in their XRDS, with a link to their privacy policy?
So the RP would just include the following snippet in its discovery
document, discoverable under its realm:
<Service>
<Type>http://specs.openid.net/path/to/privacy/policy</type>
<URI>http://www.relyingparty.com/path/to/privacy/policy.html
</Service>
I'm not sure where we can formally document this. I guess we can put it
in the UI spec?

I think for a short-term solution we'd need to define service "types"
for the privacy policy and TOS for XRDS.
For the long-term, the same could potentially be used as "rel" values
in the XRD markup. The XRD spec is solidifying but is not 100% stable.
I think we should have a discovery option regardless of whether we
update UX or AX. So I'd like to see a proposal for XRDS and then when
XRD is available, supporting that.
Thanks,

Hi Luke,
Yes, this is what we're looking for. Currently, in OpenID, the only
way for the RP to link to its privacy policy (which is sort of like
linking to its ToS) is by passing it in the openid.sreg.policy_url
parameter using SREG.
Since we're trying to deprecate SREG, we can try to move this
parameter to either the UI or AX Extension, or move it into Discovery.
Is there an actual Discovery spec?

FWIW, Facebook Connect allows relying parties to define a “terms of
service” url. We then show that link to users when they click on it.
With OpenID, the equivalent URL would be set using relying party
discovery. Is this more or less what you’re looking for?

Alternatively, the RP could publish its privacy policy in its
discovery
document, which does make a lot of sense, but I understand that
there's
a lot of work going on to define the next generation of
discovery, and
I'm not quite sure what the timeframe is for that.
