I've n ever been a big fan of i-names (see <A
href="http://vquill.com/2005/05/i-names-convention-searching-for-use.html">http://vquill.com/2005/05/i-names-convention-searching-for-use.html</A> for
example), this issue of cost is simply a side-trip, even a non-sequitur. No one
is forced to get an i-name to use OpenID. If you're building an RP service,
there are ways to get the use of an i-name for testing so that you can implement
the entire suite. That doesn't mean you, or any of your friends, need to obtain
an i-name! So don't use one yourself. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
