Martin, I agree with Dick, this is a fascinating idea. P3P had the same idea
notion for a site advertising the location of the P3P privacy policy: it
defined a standard HTML/XHTML link tag that could be put on any page of a
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?

That is an interesting idea. Would you like to take a stab at more
specifics?
