That depends what you mean by delegation.  myVidoop does allow  
delegation to another OP via Service nodes in the myVidoop hosted  
XRDS.  The RP must still perform initial discovery on myVidoop's  
hosted XRDS, though.

As far as I know, there are no OPs who allow users to circumvent  
hosting their user XRDS files on the OP.
