OpenID 1.2 Extensions Proposal

[Lukas Rosenstock]

+1

I'm not sure if two Types in one Service can be used like in your second  
example, and in the first one it makes no sense to double the URI because  
it wouldn't make sense that the extension is on another server.

It could look like this:

<Service>
  <Type>http://openid.net/signon/1.2</Type>
  <URI>http://www.myopenid.com/server</URI>
</Service>
<Service>
  <Type>http://openid.net/extensions/sreg/1.0</Type>
</Service>
