- referenced from Slashdot. In it, the executive editor of Washington
Post’s
online version, argues that “Washingtonpost.com wants identities of
readers who post comments”. Maybe this could be a bussiness case for
OpenID and a lobbyism job for the foundation?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If Washington Post
required people to use OpenID to sign
their comments then we would have solved the problem partly – at least
it
won’t be possible to pretend to be someone else. But it is still not
possible to ban a certain person from the site – you can ban his OpenID
but nothing prohibits him from creating a new OpenID and use that
instead.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

OpenID reputation service, or for an OP that provides verified
identities.<br>
