[OpenID] Yahoo issue

[Peter Williams]

The blurb is rather misleading - unless Blogger is operating an OP white list. It cliams that comment spoofing is thing of the past - which is obviously not true no matter what semantics one applies to the spin verbiage.
 
"Whereas HTTP Headers might have been manipulated by the evil {choose a foreign enemy nation} mafia, comment spoofing protection by Google now fights evil with the web2.0's ultimate Sword of Damacles (openid2), cleveing forever a rift between spoofed and non-spoofed blog comments."
 
Im being harsh. Adoption is always king - and adoption of authenticated comments by the major blog portals should be highly commended. But, lets not get carried away. The main act is yet to play: can a yahoo-user login to his Blogger site via openid, to post an authoritative memo (and vice versa).
