During the sign-up algorithm the user consents to creating an account. Does this consent form show what data is being shared (name, email, etc) or is it a general consent?

Does the user get notified what data will be shared?

The spec leaves that open for each user agent to form an opinion on how to transparently explain that to a user.

I personally like the analogy of the "TLS certificate inspector" that chromium has, which gives a "high level explanation" but also has the ability for the user to see the entirety of the data, but again, I think each user agent should be left to decide how to serve their users better.

We now show the specific data being shared in the permissions prompt and w3c-fedid/custom-requests#4 will let RPs customize this, so I think we can close this.
