David, are you really surprised by that? Why can't or don't want the big 
providers rely on other OpenID providers? Think...

That's were OpenID will be missing the point really. Should have AOL or 
Yahoo announced to allow login to their respective accounts with OpenID 
(any OpenID), this would have been real support and also real news. 
Right now, it doesn't look too good IMO :-(
