[OpenID] Facebook support for OpenID. Where?

Functionally equivalent to "your master OpenID must be at our local OP".

I hadn't been aware Facebook *was* supporting OpenID, though. 
Planning to, yes; working towards it; but in the transition period, 
at most. OpenID still has a few security issues to work out (and AX 
should see a lot more development) before either can match what 
Connect is already capable of; I wouldn't expect them to move 
entirely over to OpenID until then. There are issues, but E-mail is 
NOT one of them.

It *can* be confusing, to prospective RP's, whether they should 
implement support for OpenID or Connect, and hopefully this confusion 
will be dispelled soon.

Is this a problem with Facebook, with OpenID, or with the Google API?

Disclosure without handing over the password to your accounts is a 
good thing, and indeed part of OpenID's promise; partial disclosure 
would be nicer, but as with Facebook, my preference with Google is 
that the options for developers be narrowed to "OpenID" so we don't 
have to worry about whether to implement Connect support, Google's 
API support, and all the rest.
