<p class=MsoNormal>The user part is never sent to the OP, regardless of the
RP's implementation. &nbsp;Discovery is performed with an HTTP GET on either <a
href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a> or <a href="http://domain.com">domain.com</a>.
&nbsp;Discovery results in the OP endpoint URI and an identifier_select claimed
identifier. &nbsp;The RP then redirects the user, not to <a
href="http://domain.com">domain.com</a>, but to the OP endpoint, which could be
anywhere, and certainly does NOT include the user@ portion because the redirect
is determined by the OP's advertised OP endpoint via their XRDS document.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

</div>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>So the OP never sees user1@ or user2@. &nbsp;The RP has no
way to correlate user1@ to a user account or a claimed identifier on the OP,
and the RP never sees user2@ because the claimed identifier is not in the form
of an email address. :)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Stupid question: &nbsp;Seems to me that the OP can deal with
this, assuming<br>
that it does get the &quot;user&quot; part of the &quot;<a
href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>&quot; URL.<br>
According to the HTTP spec, it should, and at least JSP frameworks<br>
were able to pick up on this last time I checked. &nbsp;(It's equivalent to<br>
HTTP Basic auth, but without sending a password, which gives you an<br>
empty password.) &nbsp;This could be used for pre-filling forms, or for<br>
selecting the &quot;right&quot; identity from a set already pre-authenticated
at<br>
the OP, or just for warning the user &quot;you said X, about to change that<br>
to Y, click OK to continue&quot;.<o:p></o:p></p>
