It's interesting in that it's trying to learn from newer efforts and back-port aspects of them into OpenID, while maintaining backward compatibility. I'm still not sure who it's for, though, since OpenID shows that URL-based IDs are really hard for the general public...

That said, I wouldn't go as far as dreamdu5t in suggesting that we as a community stop working on alternative solutions. I work on Persona and think it's fantastic, but no identity system is a panacea.

Of course, I would really love to read a more thorough post from the author regarding his decision to roll his own system.

PS: ecaron, I think I owe you a coffee and a much belated email. :)
