Indeed but this can be a subsystem, a feature of the OpenID provider. For example, some OpenID providers have the feature to choose different persons depending on the usage. So it will be easier to safeguard a persona within one openid provider. So for example, in my current OpenID setup I have two personas. One for daily use which is completely useless and one for mission critical stuff. Although the mission critical persona is not safeguarded :) (lack of functionalities here) if such a feature is implemented, wouldn't be that much better? :)
