I keep logging into sites like Zooomr with two different IDs and accidentally creating accounts. That Claiming system is excellent, and should be more widespread.

It's really pretty straightforward: instead of having the OpenID be a column in the users table, we have a separate identifiers table that maps OpenIDs to users. Beyond that, it's all interface.
