You actually getting 2 URLs - one is "anonymized" with some garbage at the end and another uses your Y! username instead. My Yahoo account is Gmail style: firstname.lastname and many websites usually try to deduce the username I would most likely choose if I wasn't using OpenId. As a result I can always choose whether I would like to stay unidentified or not. I really like Yahoo as an OpenId provider with two URLs and a sign-in seal. It's pretty versatile and secure.
