Yes, I would like OpenID to get more exposure. Not just because I spent time implementing it for our site the first time around--they addressed the execution and usability problems with this new work, and I think it will be much more useful for non-technical users. The OpenID Foundation folks did not just bolt OAuth onto the side and call it a day. One of the key new features is a protocol that allows the ability to stay on-site within a popup or other login, rather than being redirected to a third party, then back to your intended site. I have not read the code yet to see exactly how it's different, but it seems to strengthen the attribute exchange as well for profile-type information. Most of the OpenID providers I've used are wildly divergent in how (and how many) attributes are exchangeable with the OpenID consuming site. Do you not see these as fruitful improvements to the protocol?
