Instead of making an OpenID URL a self-asserted claim,
there might be another possible avenue to explore.

Set up CardSpace such that managed cards can be supplied
by a user's OpenID server.  The difference is that the
user does the managing.  That is, it's just a matter of
whether the user does her self-asserting on a server of
her choice or on some database on her desktop.  In either
case, the level of assurance is the same, isn't it?
