I already voted so will only add input here.

Our society of information requires us to memorise way too much
information. What is my nick here? The usual one? Well, maybe I took
this one here because I remember it was taken on this site - or was it
on the other one? No, passwords managers are NOT a solution - I
stopped counting how many times this failed me.

OTOH, you email is yours and yours only. This is that one, not
the-same-as-usual-but-with-a-zero-because-it-was-already-taken-or-mabe-two.
Plus, this is one less thing to memorize (email is something one may
remember even better than credit card code AND remembering a nick is
not necessary anymore). One email adress to rule them all, both on
joesblog.com and froglovers.com.

Long live the One-True-Email! :)

(I won't post more on this, I gave my point of view).

Sean: your idea would then lead to some people being able to log in in
a certain way and other in an other way. Granularity, double standard.
Nice intent, though.
