I disagree, it being a URL is a good thing. I have http:/
kevinmarks.com as an openid URL with microformats attached to it
(based on Chris Messina's here):
http://factoryjoe.com/hcard.html
Should I be asserting his urls as a uid?

I was picturing something more along the lines of a list of your
friends on your social network, each one with an openID, you'd then
want to copy and paste that to search for the same friend on the
other social network. No one needs to know it's actually a url, not
least the user. Both social networks have already verified their
members via openID and are just using that string in their member db.

I think it should also be possible to use openIDs in other

way users expect, we don't want openID users thinking they have to
remember to type "http://";
I think this is actually backwards. You DO want to link to them,
(whether or not you're attempting to drive traffic there or not).
That's what makes them unique!
When I was speaking with Scott Kveton last week at ignite seattle,
something we spent a bit of time with was the concept of an openID as
a url, and the significance that plays. Without being an actual
anchor to a specific location, and openID is meaningless. It derives
it's meaning and value from the use of the global DNS system,
regardless if you're actually looking to direct traffic to your
openID
or not, it's the nature of it being an anchor that gives it power.
What value would an openID have outside of an anchor?
