One of the recommendations which I did not mention in my email, but is 
listed on Slide 19 of the study, is for RPs to suggest OpenID login if 
the user fails to login using an email address belonging to an OpenID 
Provider.

For instance, users who fail to login with an @yahoo.com email address 
could be prompted to login via Yahoo OpenID. This is fairly consistent 
with Google's recommendation.
