[OpenID] ANN: OpenID4Java 0.9.4 - OpenID draft 12 and AX draft 7 support

[Hans Granqvist]

It would be quite useful if there was an official OpenID reference
implementation,
both RP and OP. Without a reference implemen-
tation, a standard probably should not be considered final.

Ref. implementations are of enormous value for standards adoption.
Think for example where the Java servlets standard would have been
without Apache Tomcat.
