While I agree that this would be nice, I don't consider it very likely.
Sites evangelizing OpenID are one thing, but as more and more "normal"
sites decide to give OpenID a try I think we'd find them more resistant
to the imposition of OpenID on every page, especially in the valuable
"logo/banner" realestate at the top.
Also, many sites already have such bars. LiveJournal already has quite a
crowded one on which there probably isn't room for an OpenID box without
sacrificing something else.
