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

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