 Yes. I'd only recently set up my server as a delegate under wordpress, so still thought that perhaps the issue was on my end. But I'd since used my delegate successfully elsewhere, so I filed it as a bug against ikiwiki.

+###LiveJournal openid
+One caveat to the above is that, of course, OpenID is a distributed trust system which means you do have to think about the trust aspect.  A case in point is livejournal.com whose OpenID implementation is badly broken in one important respect:  If a LiveJournal user deletes his or her journal, and a different user registers a journal with the same name (this is actually quite a common occurrence on LiveJournal), they in effect inherit the previous journal owner's identity.  LiveJournal does not even have a mechanism in place for a remote site even to detect that a journal has changed hands.  It is an extremely dodgy situation which they seem to have *no* intention of fixing, and the bottom line is that the "identity" represented by a *username*.livejournal.com token should not be trusted as to its long-term uniqueness.  Just FYI.  --[[blipvert]]

+# Privacy and Decentralization
+
+Maybe I don't understand OpenID well enough, but it looks like there are just few providers, most
+of which are huge companies or belong to such, and I don't trust them to verify me identity
+or to not track all my logins. I'll use OpenID only if I can make my own home server
+be my OpenID provider, and if doing so doesn't interfere with the design and security and
+privacy of OpenID, and doesn't require me to use centrally-signed certificates or pay to some
+company or anything like that.
+
+Is it possible to use OpenID in a way keeping the user in full control and allowing any user to
+have their personal provider without damaging the architecture behind OpenID?
+
+I'm worried, at least until the issue is cleared.
