[step2] A library for OpenID via popup

[Darren Bounds]

Nice.

Has there been any discussion around creating OP guidelines to support
interfaces like this? If the OP is aware of the pop-up it could re-size the
window according to its own interface dimensions from page to page,
similarly to FB Connect. That would be slick.
