[OpenID] Can all Relying Party accept OpenID Provider's

It's not obvious that it really does, Andrew.

I tested the validity of this very feature when doing formal due diligence on OpenID, the open code, and dominant providers. (I had to see where openid technology fits on the security scale, to get passed the evangelism pitches.)

It was very ambiguous what the intent of the unsolicited assertion messages were, and what a conforming flow would be. I came to the conclusion that its intent was very limited, and related to AX update. But, even that conclusion was tenuous.

Why do you say it doesn't?  In fact it does.
