I think that's because of the naming convention. Using the word "claim" 
as the authorized ID param can be confusing for some.

Example: I claim domain.com to be my ID, This is what I submit.

Response: something.com is the authorized ID. This is what was replied 
to the RP.


By using the param "claimed_id" as the authorized ID, it can confuse 
some folks. Something like "auth_id" (from authorized ID) or 
"confirmed_id" or "real_id" or "response_id" could have made it 
clearer....just not something with the word "claim" in it...I guess this 
is what happens.
