!!Example
I have a wiki (an editable web site).
I have 5 friends whom I know well who I wish to allow access to this wiki.
Each of these friends has an identity token of some kind in the identity haven.
I configure my wiki to allow owners of those tokens access to read and/or write pages in the wiki.
I send my friends a URL to my wiki. They do not have to register, they simply have to unlock their tokens to verify their identity.
In this case, an OpenID provider would be sufficient. As long as I personally collected and verified (e.g. in person) that the OpenIDs belong to the 5 people I know, that would be enough. However, if these 5 people are using a non-trustworthy OpenID provider (e.g. Google, Yahoo!, Facebook) then I will not feel that my wiki is fully protected.
Actually implementing this would only require a slight modification to an OpenID client to check the submitted ID against an access control list, before redirecting to the OpenID provider for verification.
