My remarks:

* I could not find the part in your patch that takes care of saving the
changed OpenId - there it has to be ensured as well, whether the user is
allowed to change its OpenId
* instead of having an extension setting "allowUserChange" in OpenId, I
thing that it might be better to have this on a per user/group basis, as
already discussed in this thred
* modifying the TYPO3_USER_SETTINGS should better be done using an API -
isn't there something

@Steffen K. & Benni: Are there plans about having an API to modify
TYPO3_USER_SETTINGS?
