I continue to use the example of OpenID authentication, both because it 
is very different from Model/LDAP and also because it is something that 
I would use in just about every project on top of any other auth schemes.

OpenID is great for comments, forum posts, semi-anonymous polls, et al, 
but is absolutely not something you want to allow logging into the admin 
site by default, for instance.  OpenID is also something that's great as 
a choice among several login types (for an example, take a look at 
LiveJournal's login options).

Which brings me to a point that needs to be kept in mind: we need to 
make sure that permissions and groups work regardless of the backend.
