Can the latest draft of SREG1.1 please be updated as per above?

This is causing two issues at this time:

- OpenID4Java libraries (and Sxip deployments) were implemented as  
per above (and the according design), assuming the update to the spec  
would be done in the near future;
JanRain libraries however still use the published "http://openid.net/ 
sreg/1.1" URI for SREG1.1. This leads to interop issues between the two.

- In the recently publish OP comparison chart, Sxipper appears as not  
supporting SREG1.1 (and for good reason from the point of view of  
Will's scripts and published specs).


Thanks,
Johnny
