This is pretty much how the Yahoo OP does it, however, the percentage
of users who do this is very, very small.<br>
<br>
We used to highlight this feature much more prominently than we do now,
and we found that most people exploring this feature got really
confused and lost.<br>
<br>
Even for the users who successfully created multiple OpenIDs for their
account, many users were confused as to why selecting a different
OpenID than what they used previously at an RP made them go through the
RP's registration flow again as a first time user.<br>
<br>
Again, since we all know how OpenID works, it's perfectly logical that
choosing a different OpenID would force the user to go through the RP's
reg flow again, as a first time user, but that's just a bit too much
for many people to deal with.<br>

Why not hide the personas option for users until they explore their
account settings page and see a little corner of a feature called
'personas'. If they set it up, then on future logins they'll have the
option of picking their from the alternate personas. This will give
the users to power as they are ready for it, without complicating the
login process for the new users.<br>

a OP-NASCAR to kick off the flow, followed by a Persona-NASCAR on the
OP's approval screen seems a bit much.<br>
<br>
Given that many OPs give away free accounts, and users are not
prevented from having multiple accounts, I don't really see the point
of a Persona NASCAR.<br>

I imagine several clumps of icons, each group having in common a single
identifier, so the user can visually select which other RP's may learn
about their new activities, or elect to use a new identifier instead.
The similarity between this "solution" and a known problem ("Nascar")
doesn't seem like a good sign, though.<br>
