[OpenID] Case for a unified scheme for OpenID "oid:"

So, during discovery, the user is essentially telling a RP "the 
identifier you are about to receive, whether it be URL or E-mail 
address or something else entirely, is an OpenID meant to log in 
with"?

Past proposals (discussed in this list's archives, if you'd like to 
look) have included new protocols and new TLD's; see this post in 
particular:

Note, too, that TLD's are a non-issue when everyone moves to XRI's ;)
