I'm having trouble finding the URL scheme to use... or does this only support signing in with email@gmail.com?

Apparently Google decided they were special, and requires every relying party to implement custom crap for detecting gmail.com email addresses.

They claim that once it's stable they'll open it up so you'll be able to use "gmail.com" as your identifier in any RP:

Embrace: kinda

Extend: you betcha

Extinguish: ...

Isn't this just temporary? I mean, shouldn't we wait like a month before complaining?

Maybe better to use http://openid-provider.appspot.com/username which has been available for sometime now..
