I think that what Tan means is:

<Service xmlns="xri://$xrd*($v*2.0)" xmlns:openid="http://openid.net/xmlns/1.0">
   <URI>https://www.exampleprovider.com/endpoint/</URI>

   <Type>http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/signon</Type>
   <LocalID>https://user.exampleprovider.com/</LocalID>

   <Type>http://openid.net/signon/1.0</Type>
   <openid:Delegate>https://user.exampleprovider.com/</openid:Delegate>
</Service>
