[vos-d] OpenID

[Or Botton]

Never heard of it before. Sounds like the site is talking about a single 
type of functionality that needs the support of other layers to provide 
a full trust and identification service.

Perhaps a better idea would be to use a Jabber style user server, where 
your profile is held? In which case all you have to do is decide which 
bits of your profile information are public, and which are secure and 
can only be exposed to authorized world login queries.
