we've certainly talked a bit about it, altho we're not sure what it
might mean yet. probably two things:

1) enabling cosmo to act as an openid server for other services -
users would create cosmo accounts as normal and use their cosmo
"principal url" as their openid url when registering with other
services.

2) signing up for a cosmo account with an openid url rather than a
username and password.

#1 seems pretty straightforward, but we're not exactly sure what all
the ramifications would be for #2.

it would be a a great intern project for sure.
