(Hint: OpenID consuming for comments. Start there and work up.)

I’ll answer quickly now, and maybe expand into a post later.
Suppose I already have an OpenID (at, for example, claimid.com) and want to keep that as my online identity. Now I hear about this great site called WordPress.com. I’d like to blog there, using my OpenID, rather than having to get a new username and password.
More generally, there’s no point in having an OpenID, or in producing OpenIDs, unless the web services I want are OpenId consumers. So web services being OpenID consumers is a good thing. WP.com is a web service. There for, WP.com as an OpenID consumer would be a good thing.
I’m sure others will try to convince you that WP.com should be an OpenID consumer, and that some of them will argue better than I just have…
