The CardSpace factor

So now that CardSpace (and its eventual equivalent on non-Windows  
platforms) is part of the OpenID picture, what does this do to the  
user-experience work on this list?

We could ...
1. ignore it
2. say that usernames/passwords aren't a problem any more because  
CardSpace solves that for us at OPs,
3. broaden the use cases considered to allow OP authentication either
     a. via username/password (traditional)
     b. via CardSpace
     c. via another OpenID authentication process.

Of course, I favor #3 or some variation on it. What does everybody  
else think?

Cheers,


Johannes.
