I've got to strongly disagree with these numbers. OpenID is, of course, an
authentication mechanism. The 80% of the web that is "cheap, cost effective
and sufficiently safe" contains very few authentication ceremonies. It's
purpose (at this point, but not its original purpose) is to supplant
username/password transactions. I don't know the % of web transactions that
are authorized only after a username/password authentication, but it's a lot
less than 80% and, I'd wager, a lot less than 20%. And any increase in risk
should be countered by a decrease in value of the transaction. That brings
us, once again, to the point where OpenID is fine for transactions with no
apparent monetary value but also no apparent reputation value...
