Good arguments are being raised against, as are being raised in favor. But unlike some others, I don&#8217;t think it would be a good idea for anybody to dismiss XRI\/i-name technology out of hand, just because their syntax is unfamiliar, the documentation is a bit &quot;obtuse&quot; (to quote from a recent post on an OpenID mailing list) or because i-names have an actual business model that, surprise surprise, involves the actual exchange of actual money &mdash; what a concept ;-)<\/p>\n<p>Also, I know for sure that at least I have learned a lot already from smart people like <a href=\"http:\/\/xri.net\/=Drummond.Reed\" target=\"_blank\">Drummond Reed<\/a> and the technology they constructed: for one, we wouldn&#8217;t have the very elegant <a href=\"http:\/\/yadis.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yadis<\/a> but instead a much more rudimentary version; something that should be acknowledged even by those who won&#8217;t ever touch an i-name.<\/p>\n<p>After all, if you don&#8217;t like i-names, simply don&#8217;t use them! And by virtue of XRI proxy resolution, the only thing you need to do to support i-names in your own relying party software is to prefix them with <tt>http:\/\/xri.net\/<\/tt> and treat them as a regular OpenID URL. That doesn&#8217;t sound like something that&#8217;s too hard &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Titled Why i-names?
