[OpenID] experimental namespace for openid.net

>Just a thought. What if you don't use a namespace at all.

Uh. I have *no* idea WTF this means, in context of the idea being 
discussed. Just to make sure we're all on the same page here, I'm 
going to quote from the first paragraph of Dirk's original post:

"Google would like to launch a feature in which we're allowing our 
Google Apps hosted domains to become OpenID providers. The 
authentication part of it is pretty simple - Google is already 
logging in users to their apps, so we can also host an OP endpoint 
for those domains and send assertions back to Relying Parties. What 
is more difficult is the discovery part. We have been working with 
the XRI TC to define a XRD-based discovery protocol that would allow 
this kind of hosting of discovery documents on behalf of our 
customers. "

Notice, too, the XML element *using* openid.net's namespace:
'<Service priority="0" xmlns:experimental="<http://experimental.openid.net/google/2009/07/xmlns/>http://experimental.openid.net/google/2009/07/xmlns/">'
The "experimental" shows up in "xmlns": XML NameSpace.

I don't think it's POSSIBLE to not use a namespace in this case. I 
mean, it's kind of, like, THE POINT.

>And call it your
>own extension to XRDS which anyone is free to use.

Even if they did this, though, wouldn't it be using at least *one* 
namespace in the future? Kind of difficult to avoid domains on the 
web ;)
