Given this view of your's, how exactly is a user going to recognize,  
at a given website, that "your identity is accepted here?"

There's got to be a logo and a brand, otherwise that recognition does  
not work. If you don't think it should be OpenID, what should it be in  
your view?

I trust you are not going to say "FaceBook" ;-)

Cheers,



Johannes.
