Hi John,

Blogger's support for Directed Identity doesn't seem to fully work with 
Yahoo's OP. For instance, I can't post a comment by typing in 
"yahoo.com" as my OP Identifier, but "me.yahoo.com" does seem to work.

http://yahoo.com returns a redirect to http://www.yahoo.com which will 
conditionally insert an X-XRDS-Location: HTTP header if your RP sends an 
HTTP Accept: containing "application/xrds+xml"

Thanks
Allen
