OpenID relying parties will need to be redirected from the domain provided
at user login over to Google's OpenID service. In order for this redirect to
happen, all relying parties will need to start looking for a new OpenID
extension that Google has developed and implemented in conjunction with one
relying party technology, JanRain's RPX <http://www.janrain.com/>.

Is this just FUD about Google?  I haven't heard anything about this except
from this one article. And Google's own OpenID for Google
Apps<http://code.google.com/intl/ja/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html>page
says nothing about a special extension.
