Sounds like something to add to PoCo... perhaps something as simple as a "verified" boolean added to email addresses?<div><br></div><div><a href="http://portablecontacts.net/draft-schema.html#anchor4">http://portablecontacts.net/draft-schema.html#anchor4</a></div>

+1 on email address metadata, many RPs definitely want this.<br>

Subject: Re: Yahoo available AX attrs<br>
<br>
Oops - I clicked send too early.<br>
<br>
The bad UX with AX is the security warning that most browsers display when<br>
POSTing a form from HTTPS to HTTP, which is the case when the Yahoo OP<br>
returns a lot of attributes. AX attribute names are excessively long, so<br>
it's very likely that using different attribute names for first/last/middle<br>
name will cause the response to be returned via POST. (2KB is the cutoff<br>
point)<br>
<br>
With regards to email address - unless we're 100% sure about the email<br>
address, we'd like to return metadata about the email address. Specifically,<br>
we'd like to indicate whether or not the email address was verified, and if<br>
so, when it was verified. This is definitely something that we'd like to get<br>
in to AX 2.0.<br>
