I think its a good idea. Why not take advantage of OpenID Relying Party  
(formerly termed, 'consumer').
When the OpenID Identifier is authenticated with the Provider and sends a  
successful response back, RC could query a table of openid_identifiers to  
usernames (email accounts).
This one to one relationship would rely on security from the point of view  
of the admin maintaining the identifier/user bindings table. The key here  
is that to add a mapping of OpenID URL to a user record, the user must  
also successfuly authenticate their email account with the sysadmin or via  
an admin frontend to verify ownership (once-off).

Sorry if that doesn't make sense.
