>Inconsistencies around claimed_id vs. user supplied identifiers at the OP,

Could you elaborate on this one, please? If you're thinking of the 
way a user-supplied identifier can be "typed in" as me.yahoo.com but 
resolve to pnwtele.yahoo.com, this is Directed Identity and it can be 
tricky (the recent posts to this list show my own confusion) but it 
works out; if you're thinking of the way a user can type in 
"pnwtele.yahoo.com" but have their claimed_id become 
"https://pnwtele.yahoo.com/", this inconsistency can be shown to not 
really matter either.
