And this is where you got it all wrong! Labeling this as OpenID is giving the OpenID brand once last chance to offer something useful and meaningful that developers actually use.

Calling it OAuth Connect would result in hijacking the community. I'm clearly willing to do that (though my presence here should indicate my interest in saving the OpenID brand). The question is, is this something the OpenID community and board wants to risk?
