Just remember that openid is supposed to be uci , not an idp- or rp- centric federations model.

An rp will surely have to retain knowledge of (and  control over) whether the user or has not authorized signalling between rp and op. This consent can be (rp) persisted, or vanity xrds based.

Should such post assertion signalling (info about the current auth session) be origin authenticated over the current openid session (or will the peers need to negotiate new nonces, recheck xrds realms etc, re do discovery?)

Can the users vanity xrds control whether or not the rp may see/exploit an op's "other" endpoints (just like it does for the auth endpoint)?

I assume the OP that the user is trying to use to login now?

In what I am proposing the transfer is intermediated by the browser,
so not covert.
