[OpenID] Supporting OpenID

[Nate Klingenstein]

Paul,

Your understanding would make a lot of sense, squares with my  
intuition, and it'd be nice if it were true.  It doesn't seem to be  
true, though, from my testing.  Instead, this only gives a (risky)  
illusion of pseudonymity and impacts usability as well.

Take care,
Nate.
