clarifying section 11.2 in draft 11 for HTML discovery?

[Recordon, David]

I'd agree, if you want identifier selection then move to using Yadis.
HTML Discovery is meant to be really light-weight and simple, for the
simple use cases. :)

The spec as it is currently written does not support using identifier
selection with HTML discovery. That was intentional, to keep things
simpler. A user should never have to add markup to trigger identifier
selection. That is the responsibility of the OpenID provider.

I don't think we need to add a way to trigger identifier selection with
HTML discovery.
