Unlikely. It'll be possible if/when OAuth lets OP's post something on 
user's behalf, though - that way, users can stay at OP (like a spider 
in their own web) and send original data through OP, letting it be 
recorded "as delivered" instead of giving the RP an opportunity to 
reject post (and refuse further requests for same), alter data, even 
"lose" user's contribution.

Of course, that would kill privacy again. But maybe Google will offer 
something like this, it seems in line with their other services :)
