Hi Paul -

This assumes that every user with a Gmail or Yahoo email account can use
their account as an OpenID. Simply asking the user to enter their email
address to kickoff the sign-in process is a lot more scalable than the
NASCAR, and is probably a lot more usable then asking them to enter their
OpenID URL.
