That flaw is orthogonal to the question of trusted SPs, and affects SAML

Again, seems entirely orthogonal. Discovery is equally hopeless in all
browser based approaches and the simple OpenID mechanism of just telling it
the damn IdP seems a heck of a lot simpler than most of the SAML kluges,
including the one I submitted sadly.
