This article was linked to from /. already, but many people here
(understandably) don't read it, so I thought I'd post it here. It's a
proposal of one way that the Free Software community could duplicate the
functionality of HailStorm/Passport.

Admittedly, he doesn't really deal with privacy concerns, and some
method is needed for users to select exactly what information may be
shared with the requesting server, but it's a start.
