[OpenID] experimental namespace for openid.net

[John Bradley]

+1

Having a separate space in the OIDF schema registry for things that  
are experimental is a good idea.

Other registries have similar concepts.

We should however set some life expectancy for experimental things  
otherwise they tend to become permanent.

There are a number of us George, Breno, Nat, Will, Dirk and others  
from this community working on the XRD spec.
Google has been supportive of the process.

I think a proof of concept is a good idea.

I am however concerned over Google setting themselves up as a resolver  
for host-meta documents.

That is however a separate issue from Dirk's question about the  
namespace.

Assuming we get a registry I support using http://experimental.openid.net 
  for this.
