so that their users data could easily be consumed by other sites.

This topic was recently covered by TechCrunch[1] and I responded [2]

OpenID and Yahoo

2008-04-02 Thread McGovern, James F (HTSC, IT)
 Does anyone have a perspective on Yahoo and AOL and their weak support

really also allow access based on an OpenID issued by signon.com,
myvidoop.com and others...
