[OpenID] Openidsamplestore

[Chris Messina]

Yes, as you've discovered, multi-login actually brings more headaches than
solutions when not completely baked into all of Google's products —
especially multi-login during third-party authentication.

Google is definitely ahead of the curve in this particular area — where many
Google users have multiple Google accounts and want to be logged into
several of them at the same time... works great until you go and try to use
OpenID — but we'll get there!
