1. RPs want email addresses so they can spam and/or communicate with people.
2. OPs are reluctant to hand over email addresses.
Can we minimize the value of email addresses or facilitate the
transfer of verified email addresses so that users spend less time
validating email tokens or dredging through their spam inboxes looking
for them?

I think so. See

I hope so, but whatever we're able to come up with (which should be
represented in OpenID 2.1) won't be perfect. But, it must be better
than the double-taxation OpenID users face today.

I indeed expect that if I'm using OpenID that I don't have to go
through the whole registration circus, but simply have the OP provide
the basic information. In the future, we maybe want to introduce
assertions like, "We have this user verified, know his email address,
know he is real and THE only one" without having to provide the details
themselves. The RP might under such circumstances request disclosure of
the user details and the OP do so if the user agrees.<br>
