I'm very disappointed to find out that the Yahoo API does not show the logged in user's Email address. Is this a problem with the implementation?

I read in stackoverflow a user that said "You can get the email address from the OpenID login and then use OAuth to get the Contacts". What does it mean exactly, that our PHP class here is incomplete?

OpenID is a different protocol. It is similar though.

I have separate OpenID client and server classes that are used to allow getting the user details including the email address from sites like Yahoo and others that do not share the email address via OAuth based APIs.

If there is interest, I may publish those classes soon.
