The problem (in my case) with this approach is that the client needs to
know ahead of time that it needs to identify itself via OpenID.

Looking a bit more closely, I see that there is a specification that
describes exactly what I'm looking for[1]. How widespread is OP support
for the Signature Request Protocol?
