[OpenID] Automating the user's selection of OP

[George Fletcher]

We could use smart software in the browser to handle this (e.g. Verisign 
Seatbelt or Sxipper) but with a much better set of features for the 
user, and better detection of web sites that support OpenID (e.g. the 
Vidoop plugin for flock).

While we can't ever get away from the need to support "dumb browser" 
experiences, in my mind it makes more sense to optimize for an "identity 
agent" aware device while not precluding the "dumb browser" experience. 
There is a lot we can do to make a seamless user-centric experience 
using an "identity agent" on the user's device.

My 2 cents:)

Thanks,
George
