Hey Dennis, take a look at the Provider Authentication Policy Exchange
extension as it's meant to provide some of this sort of information.
It is a bit more abstract then what you're describing, but has been
used successfully for similar needs

I would like to hear some small discussion on an idea/request that I have for 
the openID spec.

When validating with an openID source/server (not uup to speed on architecture 
of openID yet), part of what gets returned is the following data:

A/ A standardized authentication-difficulty rating from the site validating the 
user. I.E., If my password at yahoo is only 6 characters long, and Yahoo 
accepts it, yahoo still runs an openID lib procedure against the password when 
it's created and some standard values get returned, i.e.:

    weak
    OK
    strong
    exceptional.

B/ A second field saying whether multiple tokens were used, such as:

    one time pad rotating code key fobs
    password and drop of blood
    password and handprint
    et. al.

OR, it could send a value saying it meets certain standards out there, if there 
are any. Maybe setting standards would be a good idea!!! I bet the military has 
some. Apparently, congressmen and others aren't required to use them on their 
email/social site accounts ;-)
