You're misunderstanding the intended use. The idea *is* that you sign up 
by submitting your ID and waiting for it to be enabled. You just don't 
have a password specific to that site anymore.

The idea of OpenID is to make everyone their own ID provider and to make 
whitelisting and blacklisting effective. One could easily imagine making 
wiki changes from newly-signed-up users both non-google-indexable and 
added to some kind of list for interested admins to check against and 
eventually click a button marked "whitelist this user" or "blacklist and 
rollback all".

External reputation providers are currently non-existent (in any field, 
not just wiki spam). It's an unsolved problem.

Anyhow, we're getting off-topic.
