[OpenID] Consumers storing data againat an OpenID

But does Attribute Exchange take the origin into account? It's much like
cookies - if site A stores attribute X at the IP, will site B then get the
attribute? 

Should it? In this example it is some local school information. But what if
I used the same OpenID at both CIA and Al-Quaeda? Then I probably wouldn't
want my CIA spyname sent to Al-Quaeda just because CIA found it convenient
to store it at the IP.

It seems to me that local data should be stored at the RP only - it has
nothing to do at the IP.

Or have I missed something?

If I correctly understood your question - Yes - this has already being
considered under OpenID Attribute Exchange [1].

Thanks & regards.
