Should be; if RP's were to widely employ image checkid_immediate (or 
other means of trying to log a user in but not telling their browser 
to fully load the OP's page), they might not have been exposed (to 
scripts) quite yet. Then again, they're *telling* the RP that they 
want to use some site as an OP, so even if they make a typo, a little 
bit of feedback on the RP's error page ("You tried to log in with 
goofle.com, click here for its error message.") should duly warn them 
that their problem is not going to be fixed by visiting goofle.com.
