Quick thought - could we use an animated GIF to "Have another IDP?" 
and rotating between a large set of others? User would probably 
expect to click on it and select whatever it was displaying when they 
clicked on it, leading to frustration as they try to target a smaller 
window of opportunity the faster these options rotate (and the more 
secondary IDP's in it, the faster it would need to rotate to 
realistically show users all those options), and while client-side 
scripting might be able to achieve this, I was thinking more a link 
to another "Select different IDP page." - though perhaps instead of 
an animated GIF there might be a Flash movie with built-in 
navigation? But then it's less compatible :(

Never mind, it was just a quick thought.
