These seem just fine to me.

I missed the change to using LocalID. I'm glad to see that change, but 
really just because I've always hated the fact that it was called 
"Delegate" in Yadis. :)

This naming scheme doesn't separate out extensions by what they're 
extending. Presumably in future we're going to have other non-extension 
specs (that is, they don't actually use the OpenID Authentication 
request as a transport) which will themselves have extensions.

How about,

http://specs.openid.net/authentication/2.0/exten/simplereg/1.0

I've not got my heart set on abbreviating "extensions", but I don't 
really like URLs that are longer than one line in a plaintext email 
because then people start wrapping them over multiple lines. :)
