My openid is "http://www.jcea.es/". Pretty obvious and pretty personal.
But I "delegate" to "myopenid" to avoid to run my own OpenID provider.
The interesting thing is that if tomorrow I have my own provider, or I
don't trust "myopenid" anymore, I can change my delegation to something
else. And  every site that accepts "http://www.jcea.es/" as my OpenID,
would keep working perfectly.

So delegation is actually a very crucial feature of OpenID.
