Agreed. If all you want is a group, then I'd think that the response would just not include an identifier.
You could use an extension, perhaps AX, to request information about the group a user belongs to. For example, if you wanted to understand company membership, you could request and return only http://axschema.org/company/name.

Most consumers expect an identifier to be for a person and are designed around this principle. I think if groups are useful their design should be different such that consumers are able to distinguish between a user and a group. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list specs@openid.net http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/specs
