It seems that a change in the identity model for Wave could be a very
desirable thing.  Emails and IMs have a very "provider-centric"
identity model.  If a user changes providers, then everyone needs to
change how they reference that user.  Why?  They didn't change who
they were.

Wave has a provider model, which is awesome.  So why not establish an
identity model that is not provider-centric.  This might require a
Wave user registry to enable mapping global user identity to a
provider-specific ID.  This would enable and encourage the Wave
provider market to be competitive by allowing users to move between
providers without impacting everyone referencing them.

Has this been taken into account?
