I agree.

It'd be great; there was even a patch created for this some time ago,
that has sadly bit-rotted:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:OpenID_Auth_Plugin
" Should email verification process still occur?
* There doesn't appear to be any way around it, as there's no way
to query an OpenID server for an email address. "
Doesn't fill me with deep-joy I must say :-)
Actually, there is an updated patch in bugzilla's bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294608
Unclear how to help focus minds there though :-) please do watch that
bug (requires a login ;->) and report back as/when it's merged.
ATB,
Michael.
