it will be much complicated and confusing for all OpenID consumers to support i-names, not to say i-names/XRI is much complicated to explain to average people than OpenID
i-names/XRI: just like dns, another "free" thing you need to pay for. The sooner it drops dead, the happier I will be.
Sorry, but XRI is one of the ickiest things to ever come out of OASIS. HTTP with DNS already solves the delegation problem, and with fewer indirections.

OpenID is about decentralising identity.
