I'm not sure he's talking about a separate "Internet ID" that should exist. I think he's talking about websites adopting OpenID and/or OAuth as authentication methods, with a smaller number of trusted entities as authorities (Facebook, Twitter, Google, MyOpenID, Verisign, etc).
I'm not sure where people are getting this idea that he's talking about creating a new concept called an Internet Driver's License. He's just trying to encourage service providers to adopt OpenID/OAuth instead of traditional logins.

I'm flabbergasted that so many people heard "Internet Driver's License" and simply started frothing at the mouth. It's quite crass, in my opinion.
