Yadis/OpenID discovery via SMTP would allow you to resolve [EMAIL PROTECTED] to anything (in fact, it doesn't have to be something under http://markbaker.ca!). It would be convenient to tie [EMAIL PROTECTED] to http://markbaker.ca/~mark, but that's totally up to the domain owner. Hence zero squatting.
