OpenID identity URL should be shown privately on a users person page

This should be presented in such a way that people don't think, when looking at their own page, that what they're seeing is visible to everyone else. I don't have any great ideas on how to achieve this, except maybe showing it in a pastel box by itself.

For the duration of the beta program, this information should only be displayed for members of the openid-testers team.

I would like to see some inline help for this option. Perhaps a "What's this?" tooltip or link that summarizes and points you to https://help.launchpad.net/openid.

A similar tooltip could be useful for Karma in the Summary portlet.

Thoughts?

I noticed that the label, icon, and text for each line-item under the Contact Details portlet don't line up. Each successive element in the line-item is stepped 3 pixels lower than the preceeding element (see the "Email" and "OpenID login" line items in the attached image for an example).

Do we have a bug for this? I don't see a CSS rule that would fix it.

By default in popular Web browsers, table cells are vertically centered. To fix this, in Line 56 of style.css I specified "tr {vertical-align: top;}". But that doesn't work well here, because the envelope and padlock icons are taller than the line of text, causing the lines of text in the left cell and the right cell to have different overall heights. So when their tops are lined up, their baselines are not.

To fix this, change "tr {vertical-align: top;}" to "th, td {vertical-align: baseline}".

Disclaimer: I have tested this only in a minimal HTML document, not in Launchpad itself, so inspect a variety of pages (including the "Affects" table for a bug report) closely after making the change.

There may be too much information that needs to be imparted to put it on the
home page - a seperate screen may be warrented.

In particular, we need somewhere to explain that the OpenID identity URL may
look like random gibberish but you only need to use it on legacy OpenID 1.x
systems.

Bug #199069 ties in with this a little bit - perhaps we should promote the
mutable but readable identity URLs for OpenID 1.x systems with encouragement
to switch to 'the more secure OpenID 2.0' system of just using
