Documentation on using OpenID and YADIS together

I have just published a document[1] on openidenabled.com that explains
exactly how to use OpenID with YADIS. It's very straightforward, but I
think it's nice to have the details spelled out. This document should
also be a guide to using i-names with OpenID, since it really just
talks about the interpretation of the OpenID <Service> tags, which can
be added into the XRDS that results from XRI resolution.

Any feedback is welcome. One issue that I know needs to be resolved is
the issue of what version of the OpenID protocol is running. The
previous discussion[2] left it undecided, but in favor of 1.1. Someone
(Brad? David?) should add that to the OpenID specification if it's
agreed.
