OpenIDs don't have to explicitly agree to the Terms of Service, which is something pretty scary for a site operator
Good point, well made.
So yes, if you dump invite codes, then this might not be worth doing, but if you keep invite codes (I care not one way or t'other), then perhaps have a need to agree to TOS when an OpenID is validated, and only allowing validated IDs to take part?
There're loads of things I'd like to see improved for OpenIDs, never have written them all up (auto discovering email addresses and Gravatar support would be two), and full involvement in comms is lower on my list, but I favour it, I think it'd benefit the site, but it's not my site after all.
