[OpenID] Supporting OpenID

[Hubert Le Van Gong]

Peter,

You're seeing ill intent where there's none.
This was a presentation of technical & non-technical observations  
(some good, other ones bad) we
made when we deployed (and analyzed) OpenID for Sun employees.
Surely you'll agree people (and Companies) can have opinions on the  
pros & cons of OpenID?

I'm sorry to hear Sun failed to impress you but as far as I know we're  
hardly the only ones being "only" an idp.

Cheers,
Hubert
