What automated standards-conformance tests are there for OpenID providers?
I'm making changes to the implementation of an OpenID provider, to bring it from version 1.1 of the standard to version 2.0.

There are no conformance tests (at least officially approved) that I know of - even for 1.1. Certainly its something that would be very high value. Same goes for oAuth - they're both complex protocols and sometimes event the spec doesn't cover everything.
Probably the only thing you can do right now is thorough unit testing coverage locally.
