[OpenID] This is me - now what was the question?

[Andy Powell]

If anyone reads the blog post at http://bit.ly/2VE1SA about the differing functional requirements of 'visitors' and 'residents' [*] I'd be interested as to whether you agree that the current 'headline' text on http://openid.net/ plays largely to the concerns of 'visitors':

Can't remember your passwords? Tired of filling out registration forms?
OpenID is a safe, faster, and easier way to log in to web sites.

rather than 'residents' and whether that matters?  I think the emphasis needs to be more on the value of having a Web addressable identity, not just on accessing services.  Apologies if this has been discussed before?

[*] In short, a 'visitor' sees the web as a tool to be dipped in and out of as necessary whereas a 'resident' sees the web as a space in which they live part of their life.
