I don't want an RP to trigger a 2nd authentication request/response.
I do want an RP to trigger a 2nd discovery step when necessary.

I hope that is how the spec is implemented.

[Any OP proxying/chaining should not have to involve the RP --
keep it between the user and their 1st OP,
once the RP has issued an authentication request redirect.]
