Here is an example XRDS capability document:

http://openid.net/signon/1.0 http://www.myopenid.com/server http://smoker.myopenid.com/ http://openid.net/signon/1.0 http://www.livejournal.com/openid/server.bml http://www.livejournal.com/users/frank/ http://lid.netmesh.org/sso/2.0 http://mylid.net/liddemouser http://lid.netmesh.org/sso/1.0

If this XRDS document was returned, using one of the listed mechanisms, for a URL, it would express the following information:

  • The URL is a Yadis identity URL.
  • This URL supports the OpenID protocol, through two servers and two delegates.
  • This URL supports version 1.0 and version 2.0 of the LID protocol, with a delegate.
  • The owner of this identity URL prefers to sign-on using their LiveJournal account and the OpenID protocol (priority 10). If that is not possible (e.g. because a relying party does not support OpenID, or because the LiveJournal server is unavailable), the owner would like to use the LID URL http://mylid.net/liddemouser (priority 20), followed by the MyOpenID service (priority 50).

Famous quotes containing the word documents:

    “Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
