[OpenID board] axschema.org is down

[John Bradley]

I talked to Dick.

He didn't renew it last month and thinks some squatter has it now.

I asked him to check if it is still in the grace period that would let him renew it.

The domain was one that Dick used for SXIP and should never have been in the spec unless he had turned it over to the foundation.

This is a good lesson to learn.  Don't include references to proprietary things outside of our control!

The reference is at-least non normative so can be removed.

We should post a doc listing common AX URI.  

Dicks unfinished attribute type spec used http://schema.openid.net/
http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-types-1_0-02.html

openID4java and myopenID use scema.openid.net because those were supposed to be the official ones.

The domain is actually schemas.openid.net so the draft and the implementations don't match the real domain. 

Google and others started using the other ax url from sxip's earlier work and sxip used the ones on openid.net.

AX url's are a mess.  there is no spec that has ever been approved.

If we can get the domain, we can post a explanation.  Otherwise lets just drop the refrence.

I always said using the axschema domain was going to be a problem one day unless the foundation controlled it.

It may be too late to fix.  We shall see.
