[OpenID] KDDI started supporting OpenID

[Allen Tom]

Hi Nat,

Great to hear about new implementations of OpenID! Can you describe in more
detail what the "payment service" is?

I think it would be very interesting for users to be able to authorize
payments using their OpenID. Is this what KDDI is doing?

Thanks
Allen
