I don't know why this couldn't be done via the normal RFC process. I can imagine a version of this done with something based (very roughly) on DNS.

Oh, yeah. Tie it to email addresses; let any domain publish an SRV record pointing to its ID server. Then all you have to know is your email address, not your OpenID URL.

Yeah, or at least an email-looking identifier. I don't think we need to require it to actually receive email -- but it's a fair default.
