Kudos to intensedebate.com for using OpenID and on being leveraged by
change.gov...<br>
<br>
Though there are the standard usability problems:<br>
<br>
- You have to register with intensedebate.com if it has never seen your
OpenID before, and loses the context of the comment thread you're
trying to contribute to.<br>
- It requires one to make up a unique nickname and provide an email
address if your OP doesn't provide these<br>
<br>
Not sure why they require an email address (it's not verified) and my
URL is already pretty unique; I'm guessing this was a bolt-on.<br>
