I was also thinking along these lines but figured that one cannot really intercept the xrds.xml call in all platforms (specifically on Windows) so I would simply generate it on the fly whenever someone saves the configuration.

If you need help with anything regarding the plugin itself ping me at [my first name]@sandler.co.il.

I’m a lit undecided on advertising it as an XRDS plugin since few people know what that is. It’s currently hardcoded to only use OpenID providers, so it’s a little misleading. I’ll likely either rename it, or expand it to include non-OpenID providers (thought with the popularity of OpenID, I kinda wonder what’s the point?).

(edit) I should also add/clarify, that the plugin also creates the openid link tags directly in your html, so you can still access applications that don’t understand XRDS. If you have multiple providers configured, your first one is used for these links.

I’m glad you referenced my plugin.

What did you have in mind for the XRDS plugin? Something that will generate whatever XRDS configuration you want to place on your blog?

As for delegation, I think most of the providers talk quite a bit about it. I know we (JanRain) promote it in our FAQ and most of our users use it already. Also, we’ll be making an announcement tomorrow about an even cooler way to use delegation … :-)
