I haven't been following much of the OpenID discussions - so, my apologies if this comes very late in the conversation. I personally love the idea of getting OpenID out of the cyber world only and into the physical world. There are so many real-world applications which would stand to benefit from a some sort of common ID and UX platform -- from confusing ATMs and parking payment machines to self service grocery store and airline kiosks.<div>

</div>I really, really hope that we move beyond the NASCAR approach. It solidifies the existing players which then have little motivation to innovate. What new features have credit card companies rolled out? Why don't I have a web API to my credit card information so that I can mix my purchase data with other data?</blockquote>

</div>
<div>It's worth looking at implementations like the SuseStudio UI though... there are some nice touches there. Too bad the "request invitation" option didn't work off of WebFinger.</div></div><div><br></div>
Another interesting model is Endor.se:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://endor.se/signup" target="_blank">http://endor.se/signup</a></div><div><br></div><div>They require an email address but then use Twitter Connect to actually validate and sign you in.
