Yahoo! Getting OpenID?

Simon Willison has noticed that Flicker photostream pages now have rel links to an as yet inactive OpenID 2 identity provider. He also highlights the important point that it appears that Yahoo! (owners of Flickr) are developing a general OpenID infrastructure that can be used by their other properties, augmenting their proprietary BBAuth scheme.

This is A Good Thing.
