Hi Nat, I did not really suggest that your or Dan's suggestion was about breaking up the foundation. My apologies if it came out that way.
As for the rest of your argument, it does make sense to me, and I will agree with you. I think you have a valid argument. And since you value diversity, freedom and autonomy, i am sure you will agree with me that, that is exactly what we need for OpenID. Diversity, Freedom and Autonomy. And what makes OpenID so, is the decentralized nature of OpenID. I guess we both are talking of the same thing but looking at it differently.
