Not sure what you mean by "post to openid", since every openid
provider is different, and generally will have different credentials,
and a different input mechanism.  The expectation of OpenID is a
browser redirect.  In the event that some services are standarized,
and have an API, a rich client could indeed store credentials, and
post them.  But it's not a guarantee that this will always be
possible.
