I would argue that the community that matters, i.e. end users, could not
care less. It is dependency on features like this one that make OpenID less
secure, harder to implement, less interoperable, and look ultra geeky.

If I will have any influence on future RP adoption, I will do my best to
make them ignore HTML discovery completely. After all, in OpenID, it doesn't
seem to matter what the spec says anyway (unfortunately).
