There are much more experienced OpenID gurus on the list, but I would 
think that the answer to this would be no, in general. The purpose of an 
IDP is to verify an identity (and perhaps to transfer some initial 
profile data). Once that is done, a session can be kept open for as long 
as the user and client application feels comfortable doing so, quite 
independently of the IDP.

Cheers,
