Yeah, Chris I did that in a weekend, just to help Max show that it can be done.<div><br></div><div>I am sure we will iterate a few times on the UX of the popup flow. I would love to be in a room with a ton of OpenID experts and do some experimentation and some hacking on some potential flows.<br>

Yeah, that was my number one concern. Hiding the URL bar is really the WRONG way to do it (something the spec MUST address, though I doubt in that context we can use the word MUST...).<div><br></div><div>To see this in action, visit the test site:</div>

Looks really nice! My main feedback is that the browser's address bar
needs to be displayed so that users can tell if they're logging into
myspace or not.<br>
<br>
The instructions on MySpace's home page says that you shouldn't login
to this popup. :)<br>
<br>
<h3>Always make sure you're visiting the real <a href="http://myspace.com" target="_blank">myspace.com</a>!</h3>
<ol>
<li>Check the URL in your browser.</li>
<li>Make sure it begins with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/</a></li>
<li>If ANY OTHER PAGE asks for your info, DON'T LOG IN!</li>
