><http://openid.sun.com/user>http://openid.sun.com/user.

What if, for some crazy reason, a site actually *wants* to make 
https://site.com/user a different page than http://site.com/user? For 
instance, I could make a "Profile" page available via HTTP that 
doesn't include any information I don't want to be captured in 
transit - and then have *another* version of the same page, over 
HTTPS, *with* that information.

Still the same user, though.
