Ahh, yes.  It would be excellent if many players in the Internet would
permit this---Google, Slashdot, Yahoo, whatever.  It'd be great, I think.

I use my web site as an OpenID provider (and permit people to login to
it and leave comments and the like using OpenID, too).  The irony is
that LiveJournal does not fully adhere to OpenID, and Brad Fitzpatrick
is the guy that invented both.  Go figure.  :-P
