Yeah. OpenID is supposed to simplify site logins, so creating a special URL
that people would have to memorize and use for OpenID purposes would miss the
point.

Our user pages are a strange hybrid between editable content and user
information. Other websites produce static (to other users) pages that can be
content-free of everything but the user's name, depending on how they're set
up, but our pages can go so far as being nonexistent. It's an awkward mixture,
and until such time as we generate static user profiles (almost certainly
never) I'd say that your suggestion:

is a good compromise.
