On a related note, I'd like it if the XRDS file could (optionally)
have multiple OP's identified in such a way that the RP *should* take
its cue to (if offering that feature) ask the user which OP they want
to use rather than redirecting them right away. I'm not sure but I
*think* XRDS would be the right place to start with this; the idea
being that, if I had an OP that used one-time-only passwords for
authentication, I'd want to save those pre-readied passwords for the
situations when I *really* wanted them, and otherwise use a "weaker"
OP.
I could also exert some control over my privacy by electing to use
OP#1 for my work-related logins, OP#2 for my personal logins, OP#3
for my recreational logins, OP#4 for sites I wasn't sure about yet,
and so on. Any visitor to my site could determine which OP's were
*possible*, but would have no guarantee that I actually *used* any
particular one of them, and compromising the data stored by any
single OP would not yield *all* my online activities.
