Comments on: OpenID has it right http://hans.gerwitz.com/2006/04/06/openid-has-it-right.html?nucrss=1 The soliloquy of Hans Gerwitz Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:55:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: hans http://hans.gerwitz.com/2006/04/06/openid-has-it-right.html/comment-page-1#comment-6 hans Fri, 21 Apr 2006 18:48:02 +0000 http://localhost/2006/04/06/openid-has-it-right.html#comment-6 I'm aware of Yadis, notice the link in the last paragraph. What frustrated me as a potential implementor is that you didn't seem to acknowledge any value in decoupling my "home URL" and my "LID URL" until OpenID came along and threatened to usurp LID's role as the "2.0" standard. Personally, I feel that Yadis is an unnecessary layer and is "too hard" to be widely adopted (as with Liberty or any number of RDF-based semantic web initiatives). Don't be too offended, though... I challenge because I care. LID and your Identity 2.0 talks woke the community up; we might be a year or more behind if you hadn't woken everyone up.

For example, Yadis -- initiated by NetMesh and Six Apart/OpenID and taken up by the community around yadis.org -- which puts both LID and OpenID under the same discovery umbrella (which has the "delegation" features you are asking for). And that the NetMesh LID implementation (both downloadable code and hosted at myLID.net) now supports OpenID and Yadis. So among other things, it does what you are asking for.
