"openid." name space of KeyValue Form

[Nat Sakimura]

Hi Paul,

All the libraries that I know do not put openid. in KVF.
The current spec is written like that and it is the correct behavior.

Until Hideki's message, it never occurred to me.

I suppose Hideki's is asking the reasoning that we made this asymmetry 
in the URL encoding and KVF.
