Dion Almaer proposes for OpenID what I described for mIDm - putting your identity into your browser, changing it with a simple dropdown, and letting your browser sign you into sites. "When I was looking over Brad Neuberg's Paper Airplane thought experiment I noticed the single sign on feature, where you login to the browser, and then you are done. I realized that this is what I actually want." (Interestingly Neuberg's paper is published in May, 2005 - the same month I first posted on mIDm and the same month in which Brad Fitzpatrick first posted about OpenID).
