You should take a look at https://github.com/WICG/email-verification-protocol and https://github.com/w3c-fedid/FedCM ... they also share a lot of the historical lessons learned with Mozilla's BrowserID.

Yeah, websites can choose any other identity provider, and in fact, do.

At this point, wouldn't "email authentication" simply be OpenID?

Maintainer(!) here, reading the comments! Can you help me understand what you'd expect? I can't really find the "inductor" you are referring to and the "C" character that seems off to you. Care to expand a bit so that I can try to fix?
