Terminology update (was RE: OP Identifier vs. OP-Specific Identifier)

Okay, "Rich User Agent" is gone. 

That leaves a total of 18 terms. Of those, 6 are defined by other specs:

	Canonical ID
	Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange
	IdP
	RP
	User Agent
	XRDS Document

That leaves only 12 OpenID-specific terms on
http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/Terminology, and only 4 open issues. More
on those in other threads.

I also dislike the new term "Rich User Agent."

(/me goes and looks up where that term is used in the spec)

In the spec there is exactly one use (new to draft 11):

  Browser extensions or other Rich User Agents that support OpenID
Authentication may
  not detect a Relying Party's support if the value is not this value.

How about:

  Browser extensions or other software that support OpenID Authentication
may
  not detect a Relying Party's support if the value is not this value.

and then we don't have to define anything new.
