Makes sense -- it is the step that people who actually understand
security (that is _not_ the OpenID designers ;-)  [1] ) all insist
that is required for a secure scheme to work...

IOWs, promising, but I'll wait for it to pass the Ben Laurie sniff test.

[1] - That's clearly unfair, after all the attention OpenID has
gotten, I'm sure they've learned something about secuity. But surely
they didn't know much when they designed it.
