Hi Kevin,<br>
<br>
Asking the user for their email address is fairly straightforward, and users should \
have no problem understanding the question, especially since many sites already use \
the email address as the identifier to sign in.<br> <br>
Basing OpenID discovery off of email address would be more scalable than the NASCAR \
approach.<br><font color="#888888"> <br>
