Login dialog strawman based on IIW discussion

[Pat Patterson]

A response to the checkbox vs hyperlink question - why not tabs? Tabs 
are a well-established way of toggling between sets of controls. 
Optionally, you could move common elements out of the tabbed area (Login 
button, help link, whatever). You could even put the OpenID logo on the 
relevant tab.

I think it would look rather tidy.

And if, [your choice of deity] forbid, another login choice was needed, 
tabs are easily extensible - just add another one.

Cheers,

Pat
