Thanks for link.  Interesting.  I agree that there are similarities.
In particular, your Activate step is similar to setting an identity
provider as the default in my scheme.

No.  A solution based on a cookie set by relying party to remember
what identity provider has been used on a previous visit would need
something to "get started".  But in my solution the <idp> element
tells the relying party what identity provider the user wants to use
even if the user has never visited the relying party before.
