Account Chooser WG

This workgroup intends to produce user interface specifications for how a relying party can implement an account chooser for both adding accounts, and selecting an account that was previously added.  The specification would include a definition for the API interaction between a JavaScript widget and RP server that are being used in combination to implement an account chooser.
