Sorry, Henry, I'll try not to.  Dont mean to spam your inbox.

Just thought the OpenID + WebID is something we've done work on before.

The relavent project here is "Account Chooser" which provides a number of
options to login.  I use a very similar technique, but also including
WebID, on all my RWW apps.

Was really just a FYI that some well known people in the standards world
are now working on that challenge.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to send fewer mails out in future, that
may be considered a tangent to our core work :)
