[OpenID] use of net.openid vs com.sxip for Java libraries

When we started the development of the OpenID4Java[1] libraries, we  
used net.openid for the package rather then com.sxip in that we  
wanted to make it clear that this was a community project rather then  
a Sxip Identity project. Use of a domain implies control over the  
domain, which none of the members of OpenID4Java have.

Given that the openid.net domain name will soon be owned by the  
OpenID Foundation and managed for the benefit of the OpenID  
community, it is a community question if it is ok for the OpenID4Java  
libraries to use net.openid.

If it is not ok, then we will change the package to com.sxip or  
org.sxip or ...
