yep, that's how I do it too. There is not even a need to append /openid to the url.
These 2 lines in index.html is all I need to be able to use http://sspaeth.de as my openid url.
<link rel="openid2.provider openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server"/>

And unless you're an OpenID geek there's no way you'll realise that. I've got an OpenID identity that I can never remember because I can never remember the URL. Would I have thought of the trick you propose? Not in a million years.

I rather agree with you, but I still think it's due to the way that OpenID is being mis-sold (as it were). None of us comes into the world fully versed in the protocol, so we all have to learn about it from somewhere or someone. I was lucky that I caught it early on, and read the protocols, and saw how it was supposed to be used - it's not a trick, it's clearly what's intended by the authors.
But there's no reason why those providing OpenID authentication servers couldn't do a better job of telling people how it's supposed to be used. Except, presumably, that they, too, don't want to help their user community free themselves from linkage to their providers.
I despair, really I do.
