Err.. that isn't news. And as I've already stated, we haven't even got to the real challenges yet. Anyway, I am going to leave those issues to play out naturally. > You even have had trouble as witnessed on this list recently.

Maybe. > So clearly its not THAT simple. It could be that simple, but again, this is one of those things that will just have to play itself out. Eventually, you will find out that "deceptively simple" doesn't have to be "mercurially simple". > It's simpler than OpenId, but as we are moving to security space, things just are more complicated. > I haven't inferred anything about OpenID vs WebID. OpenID is good for WebID, they are mutually beneficial in the real world. Same applies to OAuth. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder& CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
