Okay, so your question was not actually specific to the OpenID tokens
we're proposing, but rather a general "why is a OpenID better than
SAML"?
Not wanting to start a dispute, I'll only answer the above by saying
that the same reasons apply that make a fair number of people
consider OpenID, even though you consider the features you're listing
as advantageous to SAML.
