NameID is about storing your identity into Namecoin, BitID is about authenticating to a service by proving you control a Bitcoin address.

BitID and NameID complement themselves.

For instance :
1. you sign in on a service with your BTC address using BitID
2. the service queries NameID and retrieves the identity (name, email, avatar...) attached to this address
