I would be more concerned over this were the proposed URL 
"experimental.google.com" rather than "experimental.openid.net". As 
it is I was a little sad to see a major OP being the first to gateway 
users to itself through openid.net, but it does make sense since 
major corporations have the most resources to casually lavish upon 
such ideas. Hopefully we will see others following this example.
