Because you asked me which of my identifiers I wanted to use, and I
picked that one.  For an example of this in the wild, see Yahoo!'s
implementation, which will let you choose between a yahoo.com identifier
and a www.flickr.com identifier.

The more common case, as is the current implementation on myOpenID, is
for the claimed identifier and the local identifier (openid.identity) to
be the same.

The XRDS for myopenid.com sends that type, the "this URL is an OP."
The XRDS for keturn.myopenid.com sends the other type, "this URL is an
OpenID Identifier."
