Ideally, we could use *both* techniques in parallel; dumb browsers
wouldn't have protection against the attack methods yet, and we
wouldn't *need* them for smart browsers. But we're going to see users
with Privacy addons that leave us in the worst of both worlds (smart
enough for the attack tricks not to work, but not smart enough to
handle OpenID automatically), so we'll still need to have *some* kind
of generic interface as a fallback.
