Yes... it's clear to me how I can use an OpenID persona in the bloggy
wiki world, but I also want to use it for calendar synchronization,
banking and bill paying and getting credit card statements...
maybe even with OFX and quicken. I can't seem to work that out in
my head.

Is this a case of "doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do that; so don't"?
Or does anybody expect that it will, in fact, scale up? Any pointers
to reading material would be appreciated.
