Identifier_select response

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

Hi Kevin,

After much trial and error (and lots of logging and debug printing) I 
got it work. At least that's correct when using the example consumer at 
openidenabled.com. At this stage my thanks for providing this service 
which allows us to check server implementations etc!

One thing however I must clarify here. Why does the consumer use the 
openid.claimed_id field for discovering the second step (for XRDS) and 
not the openid.identity? I expected the openid.identity field to be 
authoritative and not openid.claimed_id! This looks somehow not really 
correct to me...

You can check this by sending different values at the id_select stage, 
where openid.claimed_id isn't the same as openid.identity with 
openid.identity the only correct value for discovery.
