I don't know for sure that it is possible, but I presume that it is.
However, when I tried to do it, I couldn't figure out how to get from
the _openid_discovery table (which has 22 entries that have myopenid as
the endpoint server) to the corresponding user record.

Either Martin needs to clue me in, or I'll have to find time to read
his openid code :)
