In ikiwiki, there might be no such special information associated with users (or you can think of something like this?), except for the admin rights. But fortunately, several OpenIDs can be set up for admins in ikwiki. (Only if it comes to [the OpenIDs provided by Gmail][forum/google openid broken?], then it turns out to be unhandy to write the ID into the configuration file as a second admin ID.)--Ivan Z.

 Unfortunately I don't speak Perl, so hopefully someone thinks these suggestions are good enough to code up. I've hacked on openid code in Ruby before, so hopefully these changes aren't all that difficult to implement. Even if you don't get any data via sreg, you're no worse off than where you are now, so I don't think there'd need to be much in the way of error/sanity-checking of returned data. If it's null or not available then no big deal, typing in a username is no sweat.
