Implement now. Should be forward-compatible with future specs.
I would disagree with this.
I think there is some convergence on this list of people that see
the same part of the elephant, but there are lots of other parts
of the elephant IMO that are incompatible with directions here in
YADIS.
I thought your concerns were mainly to do with the YADIS protocol
itself, not with the scope of what we are trying to do. What are
we missing, and what's wrong with finding a niche on the elephant's
trunk and leaving the rest of the elephant for some other time?
Great goal to solve part of a problem. It is critical though to have
a big picture view or you end up trying to attach a garden hose to
the front of an elephant.
OpenID, LID and XRI are all "Pull" oriented architectures. In my
discussions, I have not felt there was interest in learning the
issues of a "Push" oriented architecture.
I'll spend some time reviewing the latest docs again and provide more
specific feedback if people are interested.
