A lot of OpenID aware sites offers you possibility to bind your
OpenID with the local account. And yes, sometimes it leads to
strange results (based on how bad you implemented it). Last
time I tried it with one local e-shop I ended in some account
limbo ;-)
I encountered an issue recently with
pypi.org, where it was treating
http://sgallagh.id.fedoraproject.org and
https://sgallagh.id.fedoraproject.org as separate accounts (up to a
point where they were causing tracebacks because they shared the same
email address).
So lesson learned: always drop the protocol prefix.
