If you have a EVSSL cert for client auth they would take that and  
forget openID.

They do that now.   The CA is the IdP in that case.

No an GSA RP will not trust something that is a IdP that has not been  
audited to meet the profile and Privacy guidelines.

The big problem with the SSL solution is that it is coralatable by   
the RP so doesn't meet  the anonymity requirements that some of the  
agencies have.  It works better at LoA 2 and up where there is  
identity proofing required, so anonymity is not an issue.

A personal information card where the key pair is pairwise with the RP  
is a better fit at LoA 1.

Andrew Arnott and I did a demo of using a p-card to loginto a openID  
RP without having a IdP involved.

The public key is combined with a RP base URI to create the unique  
identifier.
