Isn't this a case where the Yadis infrastructure should be used
instead of Yet Another Link Tag?

Martin, I agree with Dick, this is a fascinating idea. P3P had the

notion for a site advertising the location of the P3P privacy

defined a standard HTML/XHTML link tag that could be put on any

site that told the browser where to locate the P3P policy document
for the
site (or for any portion of the site).

Are you proposing the same thing for OpenID login?

I think it'd be better to implement this as either a META or a LINK
element alongside a standard protocol for communicating with the
nominated URL.
This way the site can declare on *all pages*, rather than on the
forms-based login page, that it accepts OpenID auth. This allows the
user to go to the RP's home page (or any other page) and click the
"OpenID Login" button on the browser's toolbar and have it work.
That is an interesting idea. Would you like to take a stab at more
specifics?
