So, Michael Richardson actually put together his own demo (very similar to yours!) providing an example of this alternative flow:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://madstreams.com/">http://madstreams.com/</a></div><div><br>
</div><div>This site is actually going to be our demo for Activity Streams, but we're using it for a number of things and it is VERY RAW AND UGLY SO PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS HOW IT WILL END UP AFTER A DESIGNER TOUCHES AND LOVINGLY CARESSES THE INTERFACE.</div>
<div><br></div><div>That said, it does provide an example of the flow I was just talking about (I hadn't realized that it was more or less ready to show).</div><div><br></div><div>What do you think?</div><div><br></div>

Hi Chris,<br><br>I would love to integrate this with any and all OpenID provider selection schemes, yes!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 7:42 PM, Chris Messina <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris.messina@gmail.com" target="_blank">chris.messina@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><div>i.e. click "I want to login" --> popup --> choose your provider --> proceed through OpenID flow --> onSuccess --> return to opener</div><div><br></div><div>Chris<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

We have checked in a javascript library that can be used for opening<br>
OpenID popups at the RP. It is available at <a href="http://step2.googlecode.com" target="_blank">http://step2.googlecode.com</a><br>
<br>
A working demo hosted on Amazon's EC2 is at <a href="http://www.puffypoodles.com/popup" target="_blank">http://www.puffypoodles.com/popup</a><br>
; it is a single instance, so the QoS is not to be trusted!<br>
<br>
Volunteer testers appreciated!<br>
<br>
Notes:<br>
<br>
1. It does not use any special parameters to indicate to the OP that<br>
it is using a popup window, because, well, such standard does not<br>
exist (yet!)<br>
<br>
2. There is some documentation in the code itself, but I plan to add<br>
more in a few days, including some wiki pages.<br>
<br>
3. The code is currently in the 'example-consumer' directory. We will<br>
eventually move it to the consumer directory.<br>
<br>
4. Suggestions for improvements are welcome. If you find bugs, please<br>
file them and assign them to me.<br>
