What’s the difference between OpenID 2.0 and Sxip?

I’m here in Vancouver at the Identity Open Space UNconference to find out.

I’ll let yah know once I’ve figured it out for myself and what the other 98% of the people who aren’t going to sign-up for vendor agnostic IDs - are supposed to do.

The issue is not “what do you do with knowledgeable end-users” - its “what about the rest of them?” that’s the issue.

Would you sign up for a user-centric, vendor agnostic independent unique idenitfiier?  Have you already?  Would you pay money for the privaledge?

    OpenID has a reasonably sized user base, actual adoption by legitimate services, and a specification written by people who know what they are doing.

    SXIP (or whatever they are calling it these days) does not.

    I should point out that OpenID is only authentication - so the best it can achieve is single sign-on.

    And I disagree thatSxip does not know what they’re doing - they do. IMHO
