way for the OpenID community to develop general agreement that people are
talking from a pretty solid and consistent point of view with the least
amount of ambiguity possible.  Does that make sense?  If we can do the work
to create that kind of CMP, then that will be a clear foundation of
linguistic agreement and clarity that will help the marketplace think about,
talk about, understand,  and chose wisely regarding the nature and value of
adopting OpenID.

Does that make any sense?
