[OpenID] Feedback requested: New OpenID RP login UX prototype

[Peter Williams]

having logged in using myopenid, the profile page showed my current login
token. The same had happened earlier, with a Google based signin.

There is also an openid uri typing box. I wanted to use it to see the
parallel account linking process in action. I got frustrated with that UI,
because I could not remember the magic uri that invokes google OP. Might
want to have there a button that invokes the nascar display, much like the
infocard button.
