We wrote a spec.

We have working code.

Other people have developed code as well.

We need to publish a schema so that we can systems talk to each other.

If *you* would like to see the work done over in ID Schemas, then  
*you* can work to make it happen there. The same for other people. If  
the work shifts to there, I am fine with it. Right now, I'm fine with  
doing the work here on the OpenID specs list.
