+1!

I think it's clear that the current solution for discovery -- while  
working today -- isn't going to be what's needed a few years from  
now.  We're going to have to move to a new solution and in doing so  
balance architecture and adoptability.  The good news is OpenID won't  
be the only technology/solution/product that is going to be wrestling  
with this exact same problem.
