Somebody said it days ago, we should use our email address as openID and every big email provider should comply with openid standards. Problem solved.

In the case of google and stackoverflow, instead of using this:

http://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id

or http://www.google.com/profile/kilimanjaro

which I never remember, how about just providing

username@gmail.com and let gmail.com/openid/username do the magic?

Never put the burden on the user...
