Notabug! Feature! i.e. specification conformance! I quote from
http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0-pre11.html:
XRI and the CanonicalID Element
When the identifier is an XRI, the <xrd:XRD> element that
contains the OpenID Authentication <xrd:Service> element MUST
also contain a <CanonicalID> element. The content of this
element MUST be used as the Claimed Identifier (see Section
11.4(Identifying the end user)). This is a vital security
consideration because a primary purpose of the <CanonicalID>
element is to assert a persistent identifier that will never be
reassigned, thus preventing the possibility of an XRI being
"taken over" by a new registrant.
