To expand on that, openid allows for 'extensions' and we will likely
use some with our applications. In particular an extension to know if
the identity has signed the FPCA, or if the identity is in a particular
group. 

If you want better technical background on openid, Patrick did an
excellent classroom session on it not long ago for us:
