The OpenId 2.0 draft spec has many similar components to the DIX

bit counter-intuitive to me (although I can see the motivation of
wanting to publicize Identity 2.0 in general). Regardless, Sxip
Identity has based Sxip 2.0 on dix, and has been a major backer of
dix.
Hi David
The timing of your question is impeccable!
The Sxip people are working with incorporating much of DIX into
OpenID 2.0. There have been a number of backroom conversations going
on (mostly with the folks at JanRain and David Recordon of VeriSign)
and there is a meeting at VeriSign's Mountain View offices tomorrow
if anyone on this list is interested in attending.
Converging the protocols seems to make the most sense (features from
each were being incorporated in the other anyway)
