In the delegated case , the rp does not know which op introduced the current session.  The id and endpoint of the  asserting op is not stored state info. The op used on the next run of openid auth may not be the same as the previous session (since it depends on on criteria, and the latest vals in the vanity xrds). If we had identiless transaction (that "resume" a previous security context, cryptographically) we'd be in better shape.

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.
