[vos-d] OpenID

[Peter Amstutz]

Well, the gist of it is we will want to support some kind of single 
sign-on scheme so that users don't need to set up a separate login or 
identity for every virtual world that they visit.  OpenID may be one 
direction to go with that -- but there are a number of other centralized 
authentication schemes as well, such as (I believe) LDAP and Kerberos.

This is going to be important when we start thinking about the s5 
security model...
