Do you mean the myOpenID "for Domains" thing, where you point some DNS 
records at myOpenID and they provide OP service for users in that domain?

I'm not sure exactly what you want, but I don't know of any OPs that 
delegate to other OPs.

It sounds like what you'd like to do is use myOpenID to do OpenID 
Authentication while doing your own AX, or at least have myOpenID store 
some attributes you've defined.

I don't actually know of any providers that implement AX to the point 
where arbitrary attributes can be written and returned in a later 
request. Even read-only AX is only implemented by a handful of providers 
right now.

Unfortunately I believe that if you want to run your own attribute 
provider you'll need to also run the corresponding OpenID provider, 
since the two are assumed by the spec to be the same endpoint.
