off topic - how many people use OpenID ?

+1 - this is the best proposal I've seen on this list so far!

Another reason is that we do not want people to confuse OpenID 1.2
with the concept of "Identity 2.0" - and there will need to be another
OpenID release before these two concepts begin to align.
