What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a u/p account on wordpress
2. log out
3. login with your openid
4. there's no option to link an existing profile/account to your openid-based 
url

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I should be able to link my openid and username-based accounts after the fact 
(see Blinksale or 
IconFactory for an example).

I fail to see why wp-openid should be in the account merging business.  There 
could be any number of use-
cases where one might want to merge user accounts, which have nothing to do 
with OpenID.  In fact, WordPress 
already has such functionality, although it is only available to 
administrators... when you delete a user, you can 
attribute their stuff to another user.

There is already the ability to add an OpenID to an existing u/p account.  
Ideally, you would use the existing 
method for doing the above.
