	I've spent the weekend reading up on OpenID.   Very cool, I'm
interetested.   I've got a couple of questions regarding security of the
approach:
	 
	Has a systematic analysis of threats to OpenID been made and
published?   
	 
	Does OpenID require that SSL be used by the consumer site when
fetching the identifier URL?   If not, wouldn't that leave the entire
sequence of operations vulnerable to DNS spoofing, etc?
