That's not true: with the use of factories and virtual methods,
extension implementations can be added without any modification to
the OpenID core implementation.
For an example, you can have a look at the
org.openid4java.message.Message* and org.openid4java.message.ax.* at
<A href="http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/" target=_blank>http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/</A>
(The sreg sub-package does have a manual tweak in the core, for
reasons specific to SREG and discussed in a previous thread.)
On the general matter, I don't think the OpenID core should dictate
anything about the contents of an extension; it should be just the
"transport" layer for extensions, and not interfere with their payloads.
