Whatever we do in regard to discovery or profile attributes, I want to voice my concern again that the AXSchema unnecessarily fragments the number of profile attribute schemas.<div><br></div><div>I'm specifically pointing out that AXSchema reinvents vcard and a host of other profile formats, which adds yet another burden for developers to map other schema, like Portable Contacts, to the AXSchema. </div>
<div><br></div><div>This may not seem like a big deal, and perhaps it's not in the scheme of things (no pun intended), but I would very much like to see AX 1.1 or whatever recommend the use of PoCo-derived schema.</div>

I like the short URL alias idea but I think that may take longer to get agreement on.<br>

It would be great if AX had a way for OPs to advertise what attributes were available via Discovery. I ran into Luke Shepard on the Caltrain a couple weeks ago and he suggested the schema and aliases to shrink the excessively long urls. Hopefully we can get this into AX 1.1.</div>
