[OpenID] Why use SREG instead of AX?

[Andrew Arnott]

George,
Are you sure they're not defined?  AX has attribute Type URIs.  I've been an
advocate that OPs publish all their supported AX attribute Type URIs in
their XRDS document so that RPs know what they might expect from the OP, as
well as discern which format of type URI that OP supports.  Some OPs do just
this, and DotNetOpenAuth (the RP part) automatically detects this from the
OP's XRDS and sends either sreg or one of the three known AX type URI
formats out there based on what it sees in the XRDS.
