[PROPOSAL] Handle "http://user at example.com" Style Identifiers

[David Fuelling]

Dick,

It seems like the same problem exists if a user types an IdP URL.  If that
URL (e.g., example.com) isn't a valid OpenId IdP, then the user will still
encounter a problem.

Shouldn't the RP show an "educational page" if a
Homesite/i-name/OpenId/email doesn't resolve to something that OpenID can
use?
