David,<br><br>A and B both work for me. I'm very happy to use
them...<br><br>I think a general sense of OpenID is well understood within the
community. Outside the community it's entirely opaque. I imagine we
can find an improved or expanded definition of OpenID to be more understandable
to the general public.<br><br>thanks again,<br>-bill<br><br>
