  I think it would be good to more clearly distinguish who started a topic. They are more likely to want to discuss it.

  OpenID is the most promising way out of the password quagmire. And others (e.g., http://www.clickpass.com) are building on OpenID to provide a better user experience. I expect to see muh progress in this area over the next year.

  While many large Internet properties are announcing support for OpenID, I expect that they are aiming to make themselves OpenID Providers (OPs) well before they make themselves Relaying Parties (RPs) in an effort to maintain "control.". I hope the enlightened few will prove me wrong on this point.
