SREG namespace URI rollback

[Recordon, David]

I see there being a gap between SREG and AX with nothing bridging it.
IMHO, AX takes too large of a step for people to use it if they just
want a few more SREG fields.  I think we need something which does
nothing more than provide a way to extend SREG and that will solve the
majority of problems today.

SREG works because it's so dead simple. Attribute exchange is not much
more complicated, and it lets you specifiy field names with URIs *and*
allows you to define any attributes you see fit.
