[OpenID] OpenID Providers which support OpenID Attribute Exchange and http://www.axschema.org

[David Recordon]

Hey Eric,
If you look back through the archives (http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/ 
) you'll be able to understand the decisions made.  There was a desire  
to use existing attribute URLs, but a set didn't exist that was  
complete enough nor well known enough.  Having vCard attribute URLs  
would have solved most of the problem but IIRC there are *three  
different* sets of them!
