Oh, and one more I thought up right after I hit send:

7. If their email provider is willing to set up an OP they'd probably  
also be willing to issue users XRIs, which can be used for both email  
and as OpenIDs. Yes, I know that support for XRIs as email addresses  
isn't really supported in the wild, but I just feel like this is  
trying to solve precisely the problem that the i-Name community is  
working on.
