I still don't get how openid works - any spammer can create a million of openids, so you still have to create the account the first time via email check and/or captcha. From there on, of course, it's single sign on. But your 2006 tutorial implies that sites won't check the openid further, which may work now, but when (not if) spammers catch on...
Frank, OpenID solves identification, not authorisation.
Just because a spammer can identify himself a million different ways, it doesn't mean that he is authorised a million different times.
