[OpenID] Making sure OpenID works

[Nat Sakimura]

Actually, we have been doing OSIS, but that is just an interoperability 
test and even if some implementations were not interoperable, there was 
very limited consequence. For example, it can still use the label "OpenID".

In case of Liberty, I understand that if they do not pass the test, one 
cannot user "Liberty Interoperable" label.

So, I supposene, one way to cope with the situation is to augment OSIS 
and give it an authority to license "OpenID Certified" label or 
something like that.
