[OpenID] OpenId downtime

[André Luís]

How about - really - promoting delegation? I, for one, use my website
as openid url. If myopenid.com is down, i go there, change my OP and
still login with id.andr3.net

I don't see this as a challenging concept for the average joe, if
properly explained and made easy for them to switch providers.

Is there any security risk in something like this?
