The spec as it is currently written does not support using identifier
selection with HTML discovery. That was intentional, to keep things
simpler. A user should never have to add markup to trigger identifier
selection. That is the responsibility of the OpenID provider.

I don't think we need to add a way to trigger identifier selection
with HTML discovery.
