[OpenID] Authorized Voting for Email Like Identifiers

[Andrew Arnott]

This isn't a dig at email identifiers.  But I don't see why email
identifiers are critical to allow Google Wave authentication to use OpenID.
 And if your answer is "Google Wave servers want an email address" I will
personally not accept that as an answer because I don't believe it.
