[OpenID] Voting confidentiality

[Paul Madsen]

Peter, seems to me that the challenges OpenID faces are no longer 
primarily technical, and so criteria that might have been valid 1-2 
years ago are no longer necessarily so.

I'd rather have had the candidates debating each other's policies on 
those challenges these last 2 weeks than defending the (surely built-in) 
OpenID support of whatever blogging platform they use (or challenging 
their respective corporate affiliations).

Regardless, you vote your way, I'll do the same.

Paul
