[Chris Messina]

Heh, that's a good one. What users are you referring to that are being
ignored? Are you able to quantify these concerns?
While we're at it, I've written about this idea previously. Curious if you
considered these arguments in your post?

Have you taken a look at http://eaut.org and http://emailtoid.net?

Frankly, I could care less what the form of the identifier is, as long as
one can prove that they have exclusive dominion over it.
