OpenID Libraries should be stateless

I understand it is the same amount of work, and I'm happy to do it, but I
don't want to do it (assuming certain internals of the library) and then
have to check with each new release of the library that my code hasn't been
broken.  I have no problem storing the state into a dictionary as it is now,
but I would like to pass the values of that map as get parameters, signed.
Once I have more than one application server, I can't do that (the object
references won't make sense anymore).

Instead of making a different class, couldn't it just be a setting  when the
class is intialized (serialize_on_save)?

Thanks
Ryan
