  <p class="MsoPlainText">Agreed there is no consensus on the UX for
OpenID ;-)  Not sure there ever will be.  And to be clear, I was not
requesting nor advocating paying anything to JanRain, only offering
that we could do that for free if requested.  Seems like the simplest,
quickest, cheapest thing would be to have Refresh Media put the text
box on the front of RPX.  If AOL were willing to modify their UX at
MapQuest to include the top X (10, 15, 20?) commercial OPs, would that
be a better UX?  </p>

Nooooo! Why are you insisting on it? We want an OpenID <b>vendor
neutral</b> interface. I really don't understand, is this a promotional
circus for commercial providers or is this the OpenID Foundation? My
provider would be most likely within the top ten or twenty, this isn't
the point, it's about what a foundation is and represents.<br>
