<p class=MsoNormal>Google's IDP is now live. You can try it on Plaxo,
ZoHo, & Buxfer and hopefully more RPs to come soon. Here is the blog
post with more details, including information on how RPs can sign up to use the
service:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>And yes, it does allow RPs to request a user's E-mail
address via AX as an option. I'll let Joseph Smarr from Plaxo respond
with details on how they are using that feature to further simplify the signup
flow for Plaxo.<o:p></o:p></p>
