so say you could see your MS Word document and see the browser somewhat at the same time.

== Identity management at browser level with OpenID ==
Current foreseen enhancements to identity management are only small tweaks. A real step ahead would be to include openID management at the browser level, as suggested in the [http://iwantmyopenid.org/bounty comments here].
This would simply revolutionize everyone's identity online, since what all web sites are waiting for is just some sort of support similar to what Mozilla/Firefox could bring. Everyone's waiting for that, but just not doing it because of this lack of support.
It would really make life easier to both site owners and visitors.
Of course users should be able to switch identities from within the browser.
Ultimately, that could mean not signing in anymore to any compatible web site as you would just do it once at the browser level.
