[OpenID] OpenID Observatory

[Antonio Tapiador del Dujo]

Good point, Nat. I've introduced changes to address this issue.

Nevertheless, the primary objective of the research was exploring the 
technologies that people use in their "identity page" or "profile page".

But probably including a wider spectrum of OpenID identifiers, those whose 
don't known or care too much about the information attached to the identifier 
makes the measurement more accurate.
