Subject: XRI Resolution 2.0 Comittee Spec Proposal
A number of us had a conversation at IIW this week about the
progress on XRI specs, and the fact that OpenID 2.0 is, in part, waiting on XRI
specs to become citeable (ie not draft stage). Drummond and I (and several others at the table) agreed that
we should promote XRI Res 2.0 wd 11 (or something soon after) to a committee spec
so that the openid community can reference it. The intent here is to document
what is essentially already being used in the wild, based on our earlier drafts
and with a very few additional proposals that have come up from experience in
the wild. If we don’t approve XRI Res 2.0 as a committee spec, I
am almost certain XRI will be pulled out of OpenID core specifications. I can’t
guarantee that it won’t anyway, but I think it’s really up to us to
put up now and produce a committee spec that can actually be cited. We have to be disciplined on our goal with this release, and
need to be guided primarily by OpenID adoption concerns. because any
substantive changes to openid implementations (that aren’t driven by
OpenID needs) are going to be rejected by the OpenID community at this point. In addition, there was discussion as well on continuing the
work beyond 2.0, of course. The proposal was made to call this work 3.0 –
something I would endorse. This is a separate topic that can be discussed
later. -Gabe |
