[OpenID] "The Case for OpenID" published by ZDNet /DigitalIdentity World Blog

The first email should have been to the list. Oops. wpopenid.74 is  
released on SF, now as a ZIP file as well, as per Spot's request. I'm  
currently bundling the janrain php library in the plugin directory  
(with that pass-byref issue fixed), though the plugin will happily  
include it from anywhere in the path.

As noted, I played with dynamically modifying the comment form on the  
fly, to add the OpenID identity url field and headers. I'd appreciate  
reports of themes that the plugin cannot edit properly. It works well  
with the default Kubrick theme, and a randomly downloaded handful of  
others.
