Thanks for the clarification. I still think that DW is going to have big problems taking off without being friendlier to OpenID, but I don't have an obvious answer.

I do wonder about the degree to which invisibly converting html to text is going to deter spambots. How much difference does it make to the spammer whether their hyperlink shows up as a link rather than as text? I guess a lot of users are "click-happy"? Has any analysis been done about how much difference it makes?
