Good luck!
I think one of the big concerns bloggers and others who run community websites have about login systems like OpenID is that big companies like Yahoo and Facebook keep hold of user email addresses. If the publisher (e.g. you on this blog) wants to get in touch with their readers/users/community, they need to go via these middlemen. For example, Facebook Connect provides you with a fingerprint/hash of my email address. If I had left this comment directly in the comment field of wordpress (I thin you’re using Wordpress, no?), you could have my email.
