My concern is the security part. How secure is this OpenID? I read some stuff on identityblog on OpenID and I am not sure what to make of it. For submitting a Perl post on a forum I can probably live with the level of security. (Loggon on to the Monastery means submitting your password over http which is also not particular safe).
But OpenID will most likely quickly turn into a silver bullet (IT history is full of examples) and be (over)applied to any authentication/authorization problem. I would like to know more about it before I go gung-ho on OpenID. It does look like an interesting initiative though (at first sight).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
