Perhaps y'all know all this and I should just continue to listen, but what I see above are observations about practices, not problem descriptions. Seems like the problems are that (1) user wants some properties to hold even in situations A and B, or (2) that relying parties want some properties to hold in those situations. What are the desired properties? Probably something like: RPs want policies/profiles/etc that applied to old user of identifier not to apply to new user of identifier. ? - RL "Bob" _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
