Just to double check, it sounds like Get Satisfaction and Userstyles.org are not spec-compliant if they are picking up the OP-relative local_id and using it as the users's claimed_id. Right?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

My personal OpenID server broke a while back, and I've decided this evening to start delegating in order continue using my personal URL (<<a href="http://steamreview.org" target="_blank">http://steamreview.org</a>>). This is the code now in my page header:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<link rel="openid.delegate openid2.local_id" href="<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/varsity/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/varsity/</a>" /><br>
<link rel="openid.server openid2.provider" href="<a href="https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth" target="_blank">https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth</a>" /><br>

But when I login to the sites I used my openid on before it broke (I've tried Get Satisfaction and Userstyles.org so far), they don't recognise me as an pre-existing user. They think I'm <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/varsity/" target="_blank">www.flickr.com/photos/varsity/</a>, whereas I actually still want to be <a href="http://steamreview.org" target="_blank">steamreview.org</a>.<br>
<br>
Is this intended behaviour? I thought the point of delegation was to allow people to switch providers without changing consumer-facing identity.<br>
