> I don't want this thread to be taken off course, but for the RP to specify which OPs it supports greatly diminishes the user-centric element of OpenID. The point of OpenID is that I, as a user, can decide who I trust to store my data and provide my identity — rather than having to choose from a specific subset of providers that the RP decides on.
In that list you can always choose for: "Use another OP". Isn't this the same as the nascar principle at the moment?
