There was a way for other openID providers to get added to Seatbealt.   On the other hand I don't know that it worked better than the FF extension you just did.    It also relied on RP tagging the input box as I recall.  With NASCAR type interfaces that is becoming less and less common.

From a security point of view I would like to be able to gat at a way to do holder of Key in the browser.
