But this could be done transparently, to simplify the XRDS document. 
While to the end user every URL is a consuming URL, to the underlying 
process there is only *one* consuming URL, and the consuming site is 
responsible for getting the user back to whatever page they initiated 
their login from (I only *assume* that this will be taken care of 
with an instant redirect; it's really up to that site, and if another 
way of doing it better suits their needs, they can go with that 
instead).
