As well, we do this at http://claimID.com

(We are currently using javascript for our login box "OpenID swap-out")

A new visitor can "login" with an OpenID - and if we have not seen it
before (defined as: it has not previously been added to an existing
claimID account) they are invited to create a non-name-colliding account
at claimID (at a modified /register page) and their newly-verified
OpenID will be automatically added to the list of OpenIDs in their account.

Once logged in - the user can add/delete to their list of OpenIDs
associated with their account.  They cannot delete the one they are
currently "logged-in" as, to avoid a "limbo" state for their account.

Once there is a list of OpenIDs in that account - the user can login
with *any* of those OpenIDs and be directed to their account.


Please try it out if you have not seen it before.  I believe we were the
first system to allow multiple OpenIDs in this way and would very much
like to stay at the fore of good technique.

Thank you Johannes for those mockups.  Very clean.
