And PHP stood for Personal Home Page.  Look where it's at now.  That's not
to say I agree with the unbounded growth of systems that were designed to be
small.  I agree OpenID should know it's place and stay there so that it does
one thing really well rather than encroach on areas that have already been
solved really well by other technologies.  But I think OpenID hasn't come
close to realizing its full potential yet.
