[step2] A library for OpenID via popup

[Chris Messina]

So, Michael Richardson actually put together his own demo (very similar to
yours!) providing an example of this alternative flow:
http://madstreams.com/

This site is actually going to be our demo for Activity Streams, but we're
using it for a number of things and it is VERY RAW AND UGLY SO PLEASE DON'T
THINK THAT THIS IS HOW IT WILL END UP AFTER A DESIGNER TOUCHES AND LOVINGLY
CARESSES THE INTERFACE.

That said, it does provide an example of the flow I was just talking about
(I hadn't realized that it was more or less ready to show).

What do you think?
