Register profile field names.

Fields placed within a profile should not be affected by additional  
requests made by various websites.  Allow each website to query for  
additional information when needed.  Establish a registry for profile  
field names, and allow users to add to their profile based upon  
prescribed fields supported by the OP.

Don't use the OP as a repository for adhoc additional information  
that is requested at each site with an intent to share this  
information!  This will lead to a greater amount of information being  
shared than intended.

Such a feature will surely create compatibility issues, especially  
when there are many ways to establishing this dubious feature.
