Yes, well, I can't think of what else to do about it.

Oh, also, I had a bit of misinformation... You *can* get an XNS name for
free with OneName (equal to your registered e-mail address, apparantly),
plus they are offering one free name to the first 1,000,000 subscribers.

So, I'm now available with the XNS name "Sean Middleditch" . 
Unfortunately, OneName's site is continuously crashing this version of
Galeon (RH 7.2 Ximian packages of Galeon 1.0.2... don't know why its so
unstable compared to the Debian Galeon 1.0.2 packages).

Anyways, I guess that it being free, I *would* recommend anyone
interested in Mono (or web services at all) to get registered, as XNS
will likely be the Open alternative to Passport in the future.
