Why not Typekey? Centralized registry. Not everybody trusts SixApart to control their identity. (But if you already use TypeKey, there's a good chance a future version of TypeKey will also be an OpenID server... I'm pushing for it at least, and volunteered to do the work.
Currently, it is a way to prove to random websites that I am this user on livejournal. [Without entering your password]
However, anyone can run their own openid server.
Other nice features - adding non-livejournal users to your friends lists and custom filters to allow them to see posts.
