My _place_?

As in "where do you want to be today?" - because after all, it's
perfectly reasonable to want to have multiple identities, even if
they're SSO identities.

Not as in "your place or mine?", I suppose.

Actually I'm uncomfortable about the assumption that your OpenID is some
single URL, like your blog homepage. It's limiting. OpenID already gives
you multiple URLs that all resolve to the same ID, so "my page" is just
inaccurate.
