What does "SUCCESS" mean?

I'm having a conversation with Martin Atkins on my weblog, which I will 
boil down thus:

Given that some providers (e.g. Yahoo!) have built in the ability to 
ignore the question you asked, and instead opt to provide an 
"unsolicited positive assertion" which may be entirely unrelated to the 
question asked...

What does Consumer.complete mean using the JanRain Python 2.x libraries?

Does it mean:

a) The answer to the OpenID authentication request you made is yes.

b) The answer to some question, possibly the one you asked, possibly a
    completely unrelated one, is yes.

To date, I've been assuming a.  Can somebody either confirm or deny that 
this is the case?
