This much improved user experience is the key feature of OpenID 2.0.

Ah gotcha. Thank you very much for the explanation.
If you encounter any problems with using Launchpad for this, I would
appreciate it if you let me know. There's a reasonable chance I'd be
able to help arrange a resolution.
As I said before: yes, I did encounter problems - it isn't supported
at all, AFAICT. The reference https://launchpad.net was theoretical -
launchpad doesn't appear to support OpenID 2.0.
Ah, OK. Since we claim we do, I expect we care about that. :-) I'll
investigate and report back (probably Monday).
Thanks
Gary
