Being able to define domain-specific attributes is great. (Made use of that a while ago). Although a solid base set of attributes is important so RP's don't have to learn a new attribute for "First Name" every time they interact with a different OP. Unless the domain of the attribute is always replaced by the domain of the OP, and only the path matters... (not quite as nice as having one official place for a core set of attributes but better than a complete free for all). -Rowan _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
