I saw this press release earlier today about Sears integrating OpenID  
sign in to the MySears and MyKmart communities.  You can see it at  
MySears.com and it looks like a very nice implementation that has  
taken a lot of the recent OpenID usability work into account including  
the pop-up extension via Google.  While it looks a lot like JanRain's  
RPX, I'm not seeing direct references to RPX in their code and some of  
the screens in the log in process are custom built.

This is pretty incredible and I'd love to see the Foundation engage  
Sears as well as write about it on OpenID.net.  I'm happy to take a  
crack at a post, though being able to do some joint press outreach  
with Sears would be even better.
