[OpenID] Real Identity Verification

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

There are some providers which can provide you this service, please see 
http://www.startssl.com/?app=14
For example my ID is here: https://eddyn.startssl.com/

However no useful exchange protocol or standard for OpenID exists really 
to automatically on such information, but Nat, who also posted a reply 
to your question, is working on setting up a work group for trust 
exchange (TX) which might facilitate such exchange of information. I 
expect TX to be highly interesting in this respect.

For now I guess you'll have to hand-pick the providers which do perform 
real identity validations.
