+
+So, while the above bug will probably get fixed sooner or later,
+the best approach for those of you needing a google openid now is
+to use gmail.
+
+
+Just a note that someone has apparently figured out how to use a google
+openid, and not a third-party provider either, to edit this site.
+The openid is
+<https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawltlTwUCL_Fr1siQn94GV65-XwQH5XSku4>
+(what a mouthfull!), and I don't know who that is or how to use it since it
+points to a fairly useless xml document, rather than a web page. --[[Joey]]
