I'm still not sure why it wouldn't be something that can double (or look like) an email address. It has drawbacks, but it wins on usability because everyone is doing it today. Even if Yahoo said your openid is: thorax@openid.yahoo.com people are going to remember that a lot better than: http://openid.yahoo.com/users/thorax http://openid.yahoo.com/users/thorax (or whatever their syntax is now). I really want something like OpenID everywhere. That's why I hope/want Clickpass to get traction because it's much closer to providing an email address as a login option.
