Putting the spec itself aside for a moment, I think the moniker
"OpenID Connect" is not helping... unless you're designing this only
for people who already know and use OpenID.
Facebook Connect was all about connecting to a single end point, a
company, a concrete institution. People know what Facebook is before
seeing the FB Connect button.
Anyone who sees OpenID Connect is going to look for the Open ID
equivalence. But there is no such single end point or company. This
will confuse and annoy since almost everyone is conditioned by
Facebook connect & few know what OpenID is.
Perhaps it would be better to put forward the mechanism, "Connect
using OpenID" or similar.
Thanks,
Hans

I'm excite to see this proposal, as it represents something concrete
to discuss and debate. I'd like to see how this strawman proposal
can be used within the technical working group as a point of
inspiration.
I'd also point out, for completeness, that OpenID Connect does not
necessarily represent what OpenID v.Next should look like, but
instead is more like a profile of several technologies strung
together to address the need of a "connect" API pattern with
decentralization at its core (a feature that I consider absolutely
essential to its success and architecture).
Looking forward to feedback on this.

The past few months I've had a bunch of one on one conversations
with a lot of different people – including many of folks on this
list – about ways to build a future version of OpenID on top of
OAuth 2.0. Back in March when I wrote a draft of OAuth 2.0 I
mentioned it as one of my future goals as well (http://daveman692.livejournal.com/349384.html
).
Basically moving us to where there's a true technology stack of TCP/
IP -> HTTP -> SSL -> OAuth 2.0 -> OpenID -> (all sorts of awesome
APIs). Not just modernizing the technology, but also focusing on
solving a few of the key "product" issues we hear time and time again.
I took the past few days to write down a lot of these ideas and glue
them together. Talked with Chris Messina who thought it was an
interesting idea and decided to dub it "OpenID Connect" (see http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2010/01/04/openid-connect/)
. And thanks to Eran Hammer-Lahav and Joseph Smarr for some help
writing bits of it!
So, a modest proposal that I hope gets the conversation going again.
