You could use a dedicated OpenID provider, like MyOpenID. If you have a simple website or blog where you can edit meta tags in the HTML, then you can delegate. For example, I use my blog as my OpenID, but I don't want to run a server myself, so I delegate to MyOpenID. They handle the heavy lifting, security (I use a private SSL key), and I still get to control my identifier.

See I could do that, yes. But exactly how many steps, how much technology, and how many organizations are between me and the site I'm logging into. It just doesn't seem worth the effort. What's the payoff?
