Seems superfluous

I would love to see OpenID implement avatars instead because I get to choose what people see on a site by site basis. I've seen it mention before, but it's a site just for an avatar to be pulled from...OpenID already houses the data that I want my sites to see, why not an avatar as well?

Nice idea, but I'll just wait for the OpenID avatar initiative ;)
