Chris, if you want some reference material

Dr Nic Williams already blogged about the need for this: http://drnicwilliams.com/2007/07/20/one-app-one-user-account-and-multiple-openids/

And provided a sample Rails app implementation: http://drnicwilliams.com/2007/07/26/sample-app-rails-multiple-openids-per-user/

Enjoy!
