+1 on the usability but -1 on the endorsement of a member's product by the OIDF.

David and I have worked hard over the last couple of years to not give
preferential treatment to any one vendors' products on openid.net.  An
example was when David reminded me about the default Identity in the
browser (IDIB) being enabled on openid.net (its included with wpopenid
by default for Wordpress).  I agreed and we made sure to disable it as
it is technically a project that is driven by my company (Vidoop)
although we're doing the best we can to make it an open solution.

Can anybody enlighten us on the points that Chris raises?  How did we
decide to use this solution?  What should the OIDF be doing here?
