US Federal CIO Vivek Kundra spoke about the US government identity initiative 
during the O'Reilly Gov 2.0 conference this morning.  His remarks were in the 
context of things he is doing to make government's IT investments more 
efficient.

He gave the example of making campground reservations at recreation.gov, which 
currently requires you to create an account that you're unlikely to use again 
soon.  He said that since you already have identities from Google or Yahoo or 
Microsoft, wouldn't it be better to let you use those identities at the 
government site?  He then said that they were working with the OpenID 
Foundation to make that happen.

                                                                -- Mike
