WordPress & OpenID

Im begining to really warm to my openid account. I love the idea and am trying to use it when ever and where ever I can.

I just recently found out that any wordpress account is an actual openid account (i’m quite tech naieve, but hopefully with the power of GTD I will have time to read around about new interesting stuff). But! from what I can see, you can’t create a WP acocunt using another openid account created else where. Why? Surely this can’t be the case and im just obviously blind!

I guess the other way I could do it is host WP myself. Might add to my hugely unoraginsed todo list.
