Implementation

I read through this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/741345/how-do-i-implement-direct-identity-based-openid-authentication-with-zend-openid

Why does it look so complicated to implement?

IMO, it's just to send request to a remote site and retrieve the response.

What's the problem those OpenID libraries are dealing with?
