I'm not saying you shouldn't have the option, my openid is
my website,
so I want people to link to it too. But if my mum has an
openID of
"openid.aol.com/mum", then she just needs to
remember that, use it, and
know that's her unique identity across the net, she never
needs to see
what's actually at that page, it'll just confuse her.
