Isn't this too much of a detail?

IMO the discussion should focus on:

1. how to brand that window to be clearly associated with OpenID
2. how to offer space for RP branding (as I assume they will require this)
3. how to make sure that the end user (non-tech user) has a way to
validate the window  URL and has immediate access to help (to
understand what he is going to do)
