[OpenID] Opt out of Yahoo OpenID?

[George Fletcher]

Are you expecting users to only use the "directed identity" flow of 
OpenID 2.0? If not, then when the user goes to the RP, they will enter 
http://openid.yahoo.com/myNormalYahooID and the RP will have then 
non-encrypted version so that much "personal information" will have been 
released. Of course the "release" of the id was under user-control so 
no-worries on that front.

Thanks,
George
