oh, apart from this one:

What problems we are having do you think accepting OpenIDs would solve? > WordPress.com Produces OpenIDs">#

also, my money is on further developing of Gravatar
-- a proprietary closed source technology which promises to become a global identity system with a single, centralised user database owned by the one corporation, similar to the such proprietary identity systems as Microsoft Passport, Google/Yahoo/AOL accounts et al,

rather than OpenID
-- an open sourced distributed single-signon system which can be set up on everyone's own host and "is not owned by anyone, nor should it be".

Andy, I bet you're spoiled by LJ a bit ;-)

I hope this is implemented soon.

The comments form requires to fill in some name and e-mail. I would like to add an option of leaving a comment on my blog using someone's Open ID, so that users of other blog hostings could add their comments with avatars. Besides, sometimes a person who's commented a lot and always approved is being notoriously sent to spam queue on any new comment. I suppose an Open ID option (not an obligatory, just an option) could help.
