Steven & Jonathan,

Remember that HTTP user-agent sessions are persisted in several ways:  
some are entirely client-based state in the form of cookies, while  
others primarily manage server-side state.  Pushing out messages to  
the RP is not necessarily sufficient to either deal with client-based  
state or deal with session state persisted by the applications  
themselves once a login context is established via OpenID.

I suggest you take some time to read about the way Shibboleth thinks  
about federated SLO.

Take care,
Nate.
