I recall there was some talk about that, but I'm not sure to what extent that was a plan vs. a possible direction. In any event, that's going to be seriously difficult, especially given the plethora of sites there are nowadays.
There seems to be a lot of talk in the development community about the shortcomings of openID. However, I actually think that FB and Twitter have done a fairly good job of this... although in FB's case perhaps not for the best reasons. Twitter's APIs allow me to read locked Twitter posts through other websites, for example. FB's APIs allow you to view locked content via sites like Brizzly. I've heard people praising FB for its interoperability APIs as well. I have also read some things about FB making itself more accessible as part of a plan, which is supposedly why they hired David Recordon. Google, also, is also interested in interoperability.
