I particularly appreciate them clearly calling out the issue of many of the big operations signing on as providers but failing to become relying partners (RPs). I am very pleased to see Facebook stepping up, I believe Plaxo has also. Once the others fall in line, I really think OpenID will begin to deliver on its promise. I would even be happy if there was a clear process of independent providers to certified so that the big players will rely on them.
