For URL identifiers, it is the supplied identifer, normalized, after
following redirects. In essence, it's the user's chosen identifier.

For XRI identifers, it's the canonical ID (i-number).

When using delegation, it's the delegate value. Otherwise, it's the
same as the RP user id. It is identical to the way that the value for
"openid.identity" is currently used in OpenID 1 and the current draft
of OpenID 2.
