SB>  - Only a tiny minority of our users will own or want to own a name.

as

SB>    minority of users have their own domain names, so what hope has
XRI of

SB>  - Supporting this minority, even if the OpenID libraries do all the
SB>    technical work for me, still involves complicating documentation,
faqs

of our
SB>    users.

SB> OpenID 1.1 with directed identity fulfils all of our existing use
cases. If
SB> OpenID 2.0 comes out and detracts from our user experience, even if
it just
SB> involves making our login screen more verbose, I would have a hard
time
SB> selling the upgrade to our UI guys or the bean counters even if I
wanted to.
SB> If, as a *user* of the libraries, it is all under the hood and just
adds
SB> more power, great.
