<div>With all grids being independent of one another, or in the
example given by John, maybe use an "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openid.osgrid.org/users/screenname">openid.osgrid.org/users/screenname</a>"</div>

<div>Again, in this example Charles happens to have his identity at
OSGrid, but that's not a requirement of the exchange. It could just as
easily been an identity from another grid.</div>

<div>This way various grids could all run "openID" servers, and trust

I'm not going to act on anything that suggests "trust agreements
between various grids." That's an AWG concept that I very much disagree
with, and want no part in. I have no problem with companies cutting
corners on security in order to be able to exchange agents on a
lawyer-backed up trust basis. But that's not what I'm doing here, and
that's not what a lot of people want OpenSim to be.<br>
<br>
The goal is to be able to go from my home standalone to *any* sim out
there that I know nothing about, and still be sure that nothing bad
will happen to my belongings. Anything less than this is not acceptable
as a goal, for me.<br>
