Agreed, it is more about the first time visit as long as we’re cookie-ing the URL. Also good for people who clear cookies periodically. As we grow membership, we’ll end up with more mainstream users who aren’t necessarily as familiar or enamored with a URL, and it would be good to eventually accommodate them. IMHO neutrality is great, adoption and usage is better (if neutrality jeopardizes adoption). When it gets built into the browser, it will be less of an issue, but until then I’m hoping we can do something on the OIDF website to showcase some good practices that help drive adoption and usage. If the ID Selector or AOL Selector aren’t the right model, what could we use. Anyone have suggestions?

Should have said "more" vendor neutral. The tradeoff is between neutrality and ease of use. We've gotten plenty of feedback that typing in a url isn't terribly intuitive to non technical users. Well, Firefox remembers my previously type URI and http://code.google.com/p/idib/wiki/Beacon works not bad as well. ID selector doesn't select and submit the URI for me. Actually after using it for I while I couldn't find the benefit for me personally. It might for those which aren't using OpenID commonly and/or are confronted with it the first time.
