Finally someone steps up to bat for DiSo!

Although, I'm not seeing how this fits in with OpenID or OAuth.

I'm yet to look at it properly, but I'd call it a big mistake if this is not built on top of OpenID - to me that is the natural extension of the concept.

Imagine signing into a site with your OpenID and actions being sent back to your hosted DSNP profile Facebook Connect style.

I'd like for DNSP implementations (which allow users to lay claim to a URI) to support OpenID in the sense that it is a provider of identities. It can't be a consumer though, since an OpenID identity cannot (necessarily) talk DSNP.
