[OpenID] Durability of authorized sessions

[Allen Tom]

Hi Tony,

By the way, I do think that this is an interesting idea, and look 
forward to seeing a world where OPs compete on security.

The refund guarantee could be something that a Bank OP, or other very 
secure OP, could offer their customers, similar to "safe shopping" 
guarantees that credit card companies offer today.
