[OpenID] Recycling OpenIDs (Was: What's broken in OpenID 2.0?(IIW session))

My email client isn't great, so not sure if Stuart replied, but the most
common one in my head is allowing a user to type "aol.com" at a Relying
Party versus having to know their actual OpenID.

SB> OpenID 1.1 with directed identity fulfils all of our existing use
