Shade,

You may have just mistyped, but you mentioned "automatically logging me *into
*those RP's..."  I'm talking about logout here, not login.  And yes, I
believe it should be possible and maybe even default for "Logout" at the RP
to just log out of that individual web site.  Same for an OP.  But a "Total
logout" link would also be useful.

I guess this still is deceptive, because the best you can do is log the user
out of all OpenID RPs... not the RPs that don't do OpenID.  So I guess the
user is responsible to make sure he logs out of individual web sites anyway.
