This is fixed now in rev365:
The URL which accepts OpenID Authentication protocol
messages,
obtained by performing discovery on the User-Supplied
Identifier. This value MUST be an absolute HTTP or HTTPS
URL.
thats fine. We can still imagine using openid in wierd and wonderful ways in the future: allowing a policy enforcement point on the LAN to open NAT ports where the inter-agent signalling is openid over HTTP over UDP. Once the connectionless TLS work come to maturity, openid over https over UDP will similarly be a reality.
