I'm currently inclined to believe that in the future (perhaps when the site gets overhauled), the WLID sign-in system will be replaced by an user system specific to this site that allows you to link and unlink XBOX Live and PSN accounts. Perhaps others, too - Facebook, Steam, whatever that service is for iOS...
That's speculation, but a lot of things point to it. Bungie's stepping away from single-console development and branching out to multiple platforms. Aerospace projects may often target more mobile and social platforms. Right now it's not easy for a user to create and maintain an individual account here, and WLID will only be a small piece of the puzzle soon when it comes to linking games with the website. It would make sense not to require a WLID, but instead to make it an optional link.
This scenario would handle legacy users (us) relatively well, too. Bungie already requires you to enter an email address in your profile details. This would ease the hypothetical transition nicely. We'd just need an account password, and our accounts would be fully migrated.
I'd love to manage my WLID from my account, instead of my WLID managing my account. It would be a very welcome change.
