[OpenID] Google+ and Unique Identifiers -- different again?

[Steven Livingstone Pérez]

Probably make some sense for them to have a "Normalize()" graph api call ... i have often been worried about this in storing identifiers as keys etc in a local data store.
I do think it it the responsibility of the account provider to provide the mapping rather than us trying to prejudge the next migration choice.
