This is not heresy, this is the truth. I'd go even further and claim 
that directed identity doesn't work for most technically sophisticated 
users. Obviously, the folks on this list are an exception.

The value proposition for OpenID is that users can sign into an RP with 
an account that they already have. People who have multiple online 
identities or personas already know how to have multiple accounts for 
each persona, and already switch between accounts when they want to 
project a different identity.
