The OAuth Consumer Key/Secret pair is pretty much equivalent to OpenID's 
Associatation Handle/Association.

That being said, there are many ways that OpenID and OAuth could be 
combined, but given that there's already a draft Hybrid spec floating 
around, I'd recommend that everyone just sticks with that, unless 
there's a reason not to.
