I'm fine with doing things differently, I'm not arguing that a metadata format should not be created, just that IMHO for simplicity sake of reading the AX documents this format description should be merged into the core protocol spec. If down the road it should be split out then it always can be.

It is not my decision to make if schemas.openid.net should be created and the content you're proposing put there. I've asked you multiple times to have a conversation on this list ending in a formal vote (like we've done for many other spec decisions) to make this decision. If I've missed this vote then please point me at it. --David -----Original Message----- From: Dick Hardt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 9:13 AM To: Recordon, David Cc: Johnny Bufu; OpenID specs list Subject: Re: Moving AX Forward (WAS RE: SREG namespace URI rollback) On 5-Apr-07, at 9:06 AM, Recordon, David wrote: >> Actually it is describing a document format, and it could easily be > used >> by other groups as evidenced by references from people in the ID > Schemas >> group. > I agree that it could be, but is anyone?

An RP does not need to worry about the metadata, so it is much easier for an RP to implement if they don't need to look at the other document. I don't think this is really that important of a point given all the other things we need to do.

We wanted to publish them on the website so that other people could look at them, but you did not want to do that, and you control the domain. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
