PROPOSAL schema.openid.net for AX (and other extensions)

[Johannes Ernst]

Are you really proposing that we should redefine "First Name" again?

Probably badly, as it has been done >>1 times before? (because  
previous experience in, say, representing the name structure in non- 
western societies, typically doesn't get reused when things get  
redefined?)

My point, of course, is not about First Name.

What about simply pointing to established definitions where they  
exist and have some market traction, and only inventing new stuff  
where it doesn't exist?
