Even without generation fragments, RP's can display information like 
"We have known this OpenID to be a user here from [this date] to 
[that date]." - it's an issue of privacy, though (and yes, I do know 
that many forums display "Joined on" dates in user profiles), to give 
third parties (including other users on that system) information on 
when you first gained access privileges there.

Your post looked interesting so I saved it for last when I could 
devote more time to reading it :)

Completely missing that you'd already suggested what I just asked about :(
