I look forward to seeing your next post, because I think I'll have quite a few of implementation questions. I just insist that the foundation wiki page about this says something like: One Button to rule them all, One Button to find them, One Button to bring them all and in the darkness bind them I’m all for this.

Users unfamiliar with OpenID still don't know what they are actually doing if they click such a button. Of course, those buttons are convenient but they don't educate users. I prefer a short explanation of what OpenID is about and linking users to OpenID.net, to Wikipedia or wherever to get more information. A link to a provider list should also be provided. Shameless plug: If relying parties don't want to choose a provider - affiliation programs might prevent them from doing so - they can direct users to http://spreadopenid.org/provider-comparison/ as well.
