Ah!

The "UCI" hypothesis of "multiple nyms" model of openid (which contrasts with definition that UCI is defined as: correlate everything back together at a super-powerful data-mining SP...to rebuild that which multiple nyms just tried to keep compartmentalize).

[0] There's an element of server trust in OpenID, too (e.g. I cannot keep
Google from revealing my email address when I use it for OpenID), but since
a user can have multiple different URLs and OPs, there's at least a way
that individuals can better compartmentalize nyms without trusting the
operators and designers of remote systems. Not quite CardSpace, but certainly
more user control & privacy than Connect offers.
