[OpenID] Negotiating a backup OP from the current OP

[Snorri]

+1... but not easy (in the future)
Do you think it's possible to establish an "OpenID Provider/Relaying Party

I agree.

If we want to have an open web, then we need to put the choice of OP  
into the hands of the user, not the RPs.

To do that, we need to evolve the protocol so that RPs don't feel they  
need to distinguish between OPs.
