The login facility is for foundation members on the official OpenID site 
and I suggest that it should be neutral as possible. It endorses 
currently AOL, Google and Yahoo prominently and to a lesser extend 
Claimid, Myopenid, Verisign and other providers. Considering that not 
all possible providers can be listed, I suggest that none should be 
promoted in a special way. If it is not possible to remove all 
endorsements, I suggest to fix the original library in due time.

Please remember, this is about OpenID proper, no matter how popular a 
provider might be, it shouldn't be reflected in such a way. The 
classical login was in my opinion the right thing. Specially considering 
that many foundation members (well, it's a wild guess actually) aren't 
those using the ones offered as preferred choices. My two cents.
