Sure :-) See below...<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:20080306201128.GH7412@bytesexual.org" type="cite">
<pre wrap="">
If I claim <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://bytesexual.org/"><http://bytesexual.org/></a> as my OpenID and this 303s to some place
else it is pretty clear what my "claimed id" is, unless that phrase carries
extra semantics which I am not aware off.
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://john.example.com/">http://john.example.com/</a> is the claimed_id, not a redirect. Of course
one might submit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://john.example.com/">http://john.example.com/</a> as the claimed_id from the
beginning, but it's not required.

Again, sorry, I am having trouble understanding your point.
Would you mind rephrasing?</pre>

I think the example above does illustrate practically what happens. The
ID <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bytesexual.org/">http://bytesexual.org/</a> can be redirected to a completely different
provider (lets say <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://id.microsoft.com/">http://id.microsoft.com/</a> which confirms this as your
ID, but also could return <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://noah.bytesexual.org/">http://noah.bytesexual.org/</a>
or anything else as your claimed_id (whatever your real ID is, or one
of your real IDs).<br>
<br>
Please note (and I also needed some time to understand this in the code
and OpenID slang), that the claimed_id <b>is</b> your ID, it has
nothing to do with what you claim is your ID (for example: I claim that
"bytesexual.org" is my ID and this is what I'm going to submit into the
RP text field. The claimed_id doesn't have to be "bytesexual.org", but
whatever the OP returns to the RP is the claimed_id (it's not about
what you claim....)<br>
