I'm not sure if they have the capabilities to do that, as I'm not 
familiar with the setup. However if PBwiki can assign a dedicated IP 
address and install the certificate issued to openid.com, it would solve 
the problem. I suspect however that's not possible and for secured 
connections we should access the site through the 
https://openid.pbwiki.com/ address.
