For someone like claimID trying to validate, they can try each of the
identifiers they have for a person (every email address, every OpenID,
every i-name) and see if there's a match. Since microid is so cheap to
generate, it's not hard at all.

+1 tis true. It is much easier to handle this on the verifier side than to increase complexity on the producer side.
