議論すると思われる質問のいくつかは次の通りです:

  • how do I know I can use OpenID at this site (we sort of have this with the login box)
  • what exactly do I need to do to use OpenID at this site (a "common ceremony")
  • how do I know that I am currently logged in with OpenID at this site, and if so, with what URL/i-name? (currently unsolved)
  • how can I change the URL/i-name that I'm currently using with this site (currently unsolved). There are two cases:
    • changing the Persona: e.g. using a site with a regular user account vs. an administrator account
    • permanently migrating the account from one identifier to another, e.g. because the user loses control over the old identifier
  • how can I log off and become anonymous again (currently unsolved)
  • how can I find out what the site knows about me wrt identity information (currently unsolved)
  • how can I migrate my existing account at a site from username/password authentication to using OpenID?
  • how can I determine what OpenID features are available at a site?
  • how are (protocol) errors communicated to the user, and what can users do about them?
  • how can I login without having to redirect/bounce around? (very unexpected / weird)

The idea is to come up with a series of guidelines for the OpenID user experience. Potentially, these guidelines could also become "compliance points" for a possible future OpenID compliance testing regimen, if we all decided to have such a thing in the future.
