I think so. See

I indeed expect that if I'm using OpenID that I don't have to go through 
the whole registration circus, but simply have the OP provide the basic 
information. In the future, we maybe want to introduce assertions like, 
"We have this user verified, know his email address, know he is real and 
THE only one" without having to provide the details themselves. The RP 
might under such circumstances request disclosure of the user details 
and the OP do so if the user agrees.
