[OpenID] openid query

[Nat Sakimura]

Hi. I did not mean that EV certs is an solution. I just said that it can be
a metric when a user or OP or RP measures the turstability of the other
party, because the party with EV certs has gone through more rigorous and
costly procedure to get them.
If I were to apply in the OpenID Reputation Service like context, some
reputation service provider may give +5 points or so for the party with EV
certs. That's all. (Having said that, how parties are scored is explicitly
out of scope for ORMS and the OpenID Reputation Service/Trusted data Exchage
WG that I am going to propose in coming weeks.)
