Can we add something to the FOAF along the lines of <openid:server
rdf:resource="http://www.livejournal.com/misc/openid.bml" />, just to
keep the RDF friendly among us happy? Personally, I'm working towards
making my homepage a simple XSLT processing of my FOAF file, and that
would let me process the FOAF openid:server to openid.server in the 
<link rel> stuff.

"No title makes much sense" -- I don't know that a title can hurt? It's
just a human readable version of the href: "OpenID Identity Server"
would be a fine title, although it's probably best to just tell clients
not to pay attention to what it is and only key on rel?
