[OpenID] https discovery & login for AOL at long last?

[Peter Watkins]

Wired says that the US federal governmment will soon let people
log in to government Web sites with OpenID identifiers from a select
few RPs, including AOL
	http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/09/feds-embrace-openid/

The Wired article implies that AOL has https-only authentication enabled:

"These companies have undergone a certification process designed by the 
Information Card Foundation, the OpenID Foundation and the federal 
government that guarantees certain privacy safeguards. For instance, 
the sites have to use SSL to handle logins"

Does AOL finally have https-secured OpenID authentication? Perhaps with
directed identity? The only way I know to use directed identity with AOL 
is via http://openid.aol.com/. That server does have a certificate installed,
but the cert is for api.screenname.aol.com, and https://api.screenname.aol.com/
is not a valid URL for OpenID discovery.

Does this .gov news release herald a rebirth of AOL as an OpenID RP?

Thanks,
