Simplifying OpenId

[Joseph Holsten]

Alex, I appreciate the contribution. Can we please return to Dick  
Hardt's three points? I am in agreement with him, though I'll adopt  
anything that gets used.

If the answer to his question lies in the archives, someone tell me  
how far back to start, and I will try to pull out the details.

For those of you who aren't both learning and verifying the ideas  
behind yadis, there really isn't enough documentation. If you already  
know it, you can document the ideas in half the time I can.
