[OpenID] Access Facebook Connect through OpenID?

[Kent Wang]

Interesting. Thanks for all the responses.

I think our priority is Facebook Connect then possibly OpenID in some way.
Should I just head over to the Facebook Connect documentation and follow
that, or do I need to do anything special in order to be able to implement
OpenID later (without any major migration problems)?
