The XRDS-related parts of the Yadis specification seem to duplicate requirements from XRI Resolution chapter 3. In the interests of avoiding redundancy, I'd suggest the following distinction: 1. XRI Resolution chapter 3 (or a separate spin-off spec) describes the syntax of an XRDS document. 2. Yadis describes how to obtain an XRDS document for an HTTP or HTTPS URL. 3. OpenID Authentication describes how to determine the endpoint URI and other information from an XRDS document, referencing [1]. 4. The new HTTP discovery specification would reference [2] and [3] to describe the XRDS-based HTTP discovery mode, and then go on to describe the HTML-based discovery fallback. Alternatively, [3] above could be served by a separate spec "OpenID discovery using XRDS", though I think that may be overkill for something so straightforward. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
