<pre wrap="">People quite often use delegation on their vanity domains today. I don't see
that being any less attractive once my identifier is <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mart@degeneration.co.uk">mart@degeneration.co.uk</a>
rather than <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mart.degeneration.co.uk/">http://mart.degeneration.co.uk/</a>; I still don't want to run my
own OpenID provider.
It could be argued that delegation from vanity domains is one of the key
reasons why OpenID attracted so many early adopters.

Sure. Now, I delegate factoryjoe.com to my OpenID provider, but I
don't actually have email setup on my domain.
I'd sure be interesting if I could use <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:chris@factoryjoe.com">chris@factoryjoe.com</a> as my OpenID though.

Or if you had <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:chris@factoryjoe.com">chris@factoryjoe.com</a> as a Jabber ID instead of email
(more secure, less spammy, just as good as a global identifier...)<br>
