[OpenID] making OpenId RESTful

[Allen Tom]

Hi Pat -

We definitely will not be removing AX's extensibility in AX 1.1 - the
ability to extend the schema is a very powerful and useful feature in AX.

At least in Yahoo's case (and I'm pretty sure that many other OPs feel the
same way) - there are very commonly requested attributes that nearly every
RP wants if they can get them. These attributes that were already defined in
Simple Registration: Full Name, Display Name, and Email Address. To a lesser
extent, age, gender, location, and avatar picture are also frequently
requested.

Given that requesting these attributes is a very common use case, I believe
that AX at the very least should match Simple Reg and define a basic set of
commonly used attributes. As it stands today, there is no standard attribute
name for something as basic as email address.

Allen
