[step2] Re: A library for OpenID via popup

Hey Breno -

If I'm already signed into my Google Account, and I just manually close 
the popup, it seems to have the same affect as clicking continue....  I 
would think that closing the popup should be the same thing as cancelling.

I think I might be seeing weird browser caching issues, because I don't 
see how closing the popup could send the assertion to the RP. I'm using 
Firefox 3 on Windows.
