SREG namespace URI rollback

[Recordon, David]

Sure, though I think there has also been a desire to do a bit of an
actual rev to SREG to be more of a 1.1 version in terms of either
explicitly supporting additional fields (such as avatar)  or allowing
field names to be URIs themselves versus a hard-coded list of
properties.

After a chat with Josh, we settled our dispute by agreeing on the

The first bit allows a implementation of SREG1.1/OpenID2 to be
seamlessly used in "compatibility mode" with OpenID1 messages, which
(together with the last two items in the proposal) would eliminate the
conflicts I was pointing out.
