Allen, One Idea that has been used to advertise AX attributes is adding them as Type elements to the XRDS.
I DNOA and perhaps other libs look at the Type elements for hints on what URL format a OP may support. One useful thing that could be done independently of the AX 1.1 spec is crate a gentleman's agreement at least amongst the OPs working with ICAM to support a common set of URL for the SREG attributes, at least as an alias. That would at least stop RP's from having to hard code the AX URL for each OP. If erveryone could agree to support the axschema URLs as aliases as well as what they are using now or advertise the URL in the XRDS it would make things much easier on the RP's. I like the short URL alias idea but I think that may take longer to get agreement on. John B.
