That is why the relying parties must allow linking of multiple OpenIDs. The promise of OpenID is not a single identity, but an open authentication protocol between a user, the IP provider and the Relying party.

I was more concerned with the fact that I don't necessarily want to link ALL identities together, only the ones that make sense. One does need additional accounts for testing/"stealth" purposes. ;) You took my specific concern a step further and raised a point I hadn’t considered: what if your OpenID provider goes down?
