Instead, we ("all spec writers and implementors") should be trying to find ways to do this on the web, so we can get away from the hack of sending people email every time we need to find out who they are. I've mentioned in my blog a few times the idea of having an inter-identifier authenticated "handshake" protocol. In my mind it's a lot like the roster handshake from Jabber, but that's just because I deal with Jabber a lot. :) Identifiers would then be able to declare their support for this protocol using XRDS (Yadis). Of course, a simple "send a message" API would be useful as well, for those who don't have support for the more specific API described above.

Currently, I can do what-- request that YOU add me as a contact? That's a little non-intuitive but I guess makes perfect sense for the architecture.

My question is: let’s say my only openid in the world was at myopenid. Currently, I can do what– request that YOU add me as a contact? That’s a little non-intuitive but I guess makes perfect sense for the architecture.

Indeed a myopenid user can add a claimid user as a contact. Once the claimID user approves the contact it will show up in the approved contact list. Is that what you're asking?

At least for now.</blockquote> And, as of now, there are no services that have this kind of functionality, so there is no claimidarbitrary open id functionality, right? The example shows a myopenid.com user adding a claimid user, but this is still in fantasy land correct? (and hopefully other folks will begin to pick this up). Just checking :-)

See the comments on the last post - http://blog.claimid.com/2007/03/new-feature-openid-based-contacts/#comment-16943 I hope we'll be able to send an email to outside people soon. But we want to keep the chain of OpenID verification strong throughout - or the entire structure loses its value. They have to add you. :) At least for now.
