[OpenID] Cascade of servers? Is that a valid model?

Your users would build a list of openids and chose one of them as the
active one. They would then use your URL as login for other websites
when in reality, they would be logging in at their current openid
provider.

Is that what you want?

I'm not aware if any of this has changed for spec 2.0... anyone? Thanks.
