Prevent OpenID from cluttering up the Subscribers list

Title:
Prevent OpenID from cluttering up the Subscribers list

Area:
profile

Summary:
OpenIDs should be separated from the rest of the usernames and start on a new line in Subscribers just as in Gives Access To.

Description:
I love having the OpenIDs in a block all by themselves underneath the rest of the usernames in Gives Access To. It makes looking through the list so much easier. Suprisingly enough (to me at least) the same wasn't done for the Subscriber list. In my experience the Subscribers list can often be even more in need of de-cluttering than the Gives Access To list. So I suggest that the same separation between DW usernames and OpenIDs that's been done for Gives Access To should also be done for the Subscribers list.

when I looked at my profile, I freaked out because I was missing the name in front of the one open id account, it just said livejournal.com. It took me a good several seconds to figure out that that was, in fact, showing that every name in the following list was a livejournal.com open id

I didn't know this had been changed until I read this. I agree; while the old display was messy, this one is not immediately intuitive about showing which ones are openid.
