Should "Relying" in the article be "Relaying"? Or is it "relying" on the external auth? If the latter, it's a form of English I've never seen before.

It is "relying"[0].

I think because the relying party is "relying" on the OpenID provider to authenticate the user, but I wasn't able to find the authoritative origin of the term.
