I was wondering if there already exists a way in OpenID to transport 
this extra piece of information (your phone number is valid, you have 
authenticate this request via phone) to the RP? Does myopenid pass this 
information already?

BTW: You can get a SkypeIn-Number (chose any VoIP you like) without any 
relationship to a country, so claims made on numbers are not very strong :-(
