Just thinking about this some more....shouldn't the 'Type' above be
'http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/signon' instead?  It seems like if an RP
got ' http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/server', then the user should be
allowed to select his/her OpenId at the OP located in the URI
(https://sappenin.com/server.php).

Agree?
