[OpenID] PAPE and the Authentication Policies

[Andrew Arnott]

It's no different than Attribute Exchange.  You can make up your own
attribute Type URIs there too, but the fact that few people will understand
you keep things in check.

Although, I will say, we already have at least *three* islands with AX,
since the "standard" set of attributes have at least there type URIs each.
(stupid... especially since myopenid.com as big as it is, doesn't even
support the official-standard set, if there is such a thing)
