[OpenID] uri/nickname

[Peter Williams]

Presumably, the Right Way to do this is the relying party site to be doing an attribute query against the/an OP endpoint, to get your personal profile - so as to personalize the experience (now it has knowledge of who you are, by the URI/XRI).
 
How "real" is attribute querying in OpenID land?
 
----------
 
Im wondering if the payload of an OpenID attribute response could include a hash of some digital signature bytes, stored at the OP , computed over the attributes in some (local to OP ) encoding. Then, the OP can be a trustworthy repository of records, concerning the accuracy of the attributes it has supplied - in compliance with some or other privacy policy in force between the OP and OP endpoint's assertion-consumer.
