Because then, only from the message contents, the RP wouldn't be able  
to distinguish between responses to immediate and non-immediate  
requests.

Josh argued that in most cases the RPs would use different return_to  
URLs for immediate / non-immediate requests.

My preference would be for option 2, i.e. a new mode. There's a  
different path the RPs have to take in this case, so I think  
openid.mode is the best qualified to express it.
