To minimize a selector's surface area, while also minimizing the
amount of user involvement that would be required for it to work, the
server could send some Javascript to outsource checkid_immediate (or
equivalent functionality) to the user's browser; the browser would
request some secure (access restricted) area of the first website in
a list provided by the RP, then move on through the list as it
received access denied errors, but serve up a customized login
suggestion screen for that OP if the response suggested that the user
had an account with the OP already. All connections would be done
from the user's browser, through their connection, sparing the server
all this work (but pinging OP's every time a user ran the script).
