I have the same issue. What constitutes 'getting it right'?

Blogger uses the nickname I entered with my openID provider. That seems correct to me. It's using some sort of attribute exchange API as far as I can tell.
It should let you enter the nickname you want to be displayed, pre-populating that form field with the nickname provided by your OpenID provider if they support sreg. Sites should never depend on sreg being supported, hence the best way to handle sreg data is to use it to pre-populate a form which would be displayed blank otherwise.
Simon, known issue. I personally want to see that fixed too.
I'm happy it launched with some small warts (like this one) than dragged on forever until it was "perfect".
