> But all that only makes sense if you own a domain name.
I have a hard time believing the venn diagram of "has a need for an auth provider" and "has at least one domain name" isn't just a a small circle almost entirely inside a large one, and the sliver on the outside is not for any reason other than stubborn refusal.
Sorry, you’ve lost me. Which one is the small circle?
My point was basically: OpenID 1 tried to let people log into websites using domain names. This is still possible to implement (and easier than OpenID, IMO), but people just don’t want to bother with domains.
