Doesn't OpenID have facilities for defining other identity information, such as friends for instance?
I don't think OpenID or any other open schemes will succeed by having information stores divorced from applications. They will only succeed as protocols for existing sites to cooperate. I don't doubt the large players will be slow in adopting this sort of thing, but the smaller companies can bind together.
