Also, it's important to note that the people that have asserted that the use case requires a NASCAR solution to a problem are probably not familiar with the technology that's being proposed to address each NASCAR problem: https://manu.sporny.org/2014/identity-credentials/ One of the outcomes of the almost-formed Credentials Community Group is to address this NASCAR problem for login and payment provider selection using a technology derived from the one discussed in detail in the blog post above. This isn't about preventing choice, it's about making choices easier on everyone by only displaying the choices that are valid for you as an individual. Why pop up buttons for all of the major payment providers if you only use one of them? Why pop up buttons for all of the major login providers if you only use two of them? The answer to both of these questions is: You shouldn't. When it comes to the NASCAR problem, the Identity Credentials spec is primarily about only providing choices to the customer that make sense for their particular situation. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Marathonic Dawn of Web Payments http://manu.sporny.org/2014/dawn-of-web-payments/
