OpenID.net Service Type Namespaces

[Drummond Reed]

My understanding is that the concern is with potential conflicts in the
actual functioning of openid.net.

Creating a clean DNS namespace for specs at specs.openid.net does seem like
a good solution to me.

What is the concern? The argument for keeping it the current way is  
for consistency. The URL resolution does not need to be trusted does it?
