The avatars are provided by various sites. For email addresses, it uses a
-[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For openid,
-[openavatar](http://www.openvatar.com/) could used, but I am not very happy
-with it; probably better to just get the email via SREG (as is done now for
-openid), and use that. For a wiki username, the
+[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For a wiki username, the
user's email address is looked up and the gravatar for that user is
displayed. (Of course, the user has to have filled in their email address
on their Preferences page for that to work.)
+For openid, openavatar sucked and is now dead. So we need to use an email
+address instead, I guess. Problem is that the email address of a given
+openid is only known when that user is logged in and making a change.
+And we don't want to leak an openid user's email into a page either.
+Hmm. Suppose the gravatar hash could be calculated from the email address
+and embedded instead of the openid?

+Or, for openid, could use <http://paulisageek.com/openidavatar>.

An optional second parameter can be included, containing additional
options to pass in the
[gravatar url](http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/url).
