Whoa, I'm not sure if others have noticed this or if I've missed a memo,
but if I go to Yahoo for an OpenID login, and then change my mind and
say "I do not want to login", they take me to www.yahoo.com!!! What the
heck is with that?  The user saying they don't want to login is not the
same as "I'm done using that site, please sell me some advertised
products on the back of OpenID traffic."

 

Should the spec call this out?
