Any sufficiently advanced web site system is indistinguishable from an OP.
Or, rather, can be turned into an OP. :)

I think that kind of misses the point. The *namespace* that google
manages is now open for business as an OpenID provider. It's an
unanticipated side-effect of the APIs.
I think it's kind of a big deal, actually, in terms of how OpenID is
right from an engineering perspective and how it can spread in
unexpected ways. If only login were so easy.

I agree. I think this is an excellent technology demonstration, but
it is a third-party, not Google, that is enabling the ID.

When Google eventually does make a proper OpenID provider all the
OpenIDs provided by openid-provider.appspot.com
<http://openid-provider.appspot.com/> would not match.
Would get very confusing apart from advanced users that
understand the distinction.

I think I'll wait for Google itself to enable my Gmail as an
OpenID.
