Whoa there...YADIS and OpenID are two fundamentally different things  
and need two different names.  OpenID will still exist as an identity  
protocol in its own right...YADIS is a new protocol that has  
something to do with unifying identity systems and the like.  Calling  
the new YADIS project "OpenID" is just going to create _a lot_ of  
confusion.
