[OpenID] How can adopt the openid in mobile web envirionment

[Paul Madsen]

Guido, I see how a phone's camera capabilities are relevant for 
capturing such a 2D code (e.g. from a screen), but not for input, i.e. 
if the phone were to submit the URL to a server, it surely wouldn't be 
sending a semacode representation would it?

Not to say that semacodes aren't potentially useful to mobile 
authentication, but their value is I think in bridging between PC and 
mobile for 2-channel auth.
