It is interesting you brought up the subject of your homepage. Since your
homepage is also your own domain I don't see a problem with trusting your
domain as OpenID. Since you had to register that domain yourself. The
registrar would have verified you in some way or the other. You can always
trust the registrant of the domain.

So if you claim your own domain as your OpenId, and your email address has
that domain, that should be fine. If you want you can also run your own OP.

The trust issue begins with subdomains as OpenID's where your need to trust
the domain owner.

And yes i want it to happen, I want to see it happen :)
