No, not really...the client cert must be issued by us. OpenID is for us 
a by-product, or better said, a by-service.

Yes, we do :-)

The initial client cert issued by StartSSL functions as a boot-strapping 
certificate for account authentication. We retain full control over this 
process in every respect. That's NOT because of OpenID but for other 
reasons.
