Kim Cameron has emailed me and said he had a lot of similar comments to mine which he has blogged here

He said among other things....
The answer is simple. OpenID provides Single Sign On to social networking sites and blogs. It means we can use a public personna across sites, and just log in once to use that persona.

But OpenID doesn’t have the privacy characteristics that would make it suitable for government applications or casual web surfing. And it doesn’t have the security characteristics necessary for financial transactions or access to private data. In other words, its good for a specific set of purposes, and we are interested in it for those purposes, but we remain as committed to more secure and privacy-oriented technologies as ever. In other words, we are interested in OpenID as part of a spectrum

I recommend you read the whole thing

Maybe now the Information card Foundation is formed with powerful members like payPal and Google we will start to see things moving ?
