Yahoo contact/email not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've looked around the web to find a solution for this but it seems to be 
coming down to the library. When I request contact/email from Google, it 
supplies it. When I request it from Yahoo, it always just responds with a 
namePerson/friendly - nothing else. 

I tried tweaking every possible setting. Some people suggested that I should 
only request 1 email address from Yahoo and that if I request more, it won't 
supply any at all. This however, can't be configured for the request - correct?

It seems odd nobody would have tested this, but is there any other reason? Once 
solved, I'm sure this would make a good entry to the wiki as I think others 
might have the same problem.

Since Google returns it and yahoo doesn't, it just seems that yahoo simply 
refuses to return the value for the email field. I don't have a yahoo account, 
so I can't confirm whether it supports it or not (I assume it doesn't since it 
works with Google).

LightOpenID always requests only one value of a field, so that's not the 
problem.

I'm noticing that axschema.org has been taken over by a squatter, and no longer 
returns anything of use related to openID.

Perhaps this affects line 508 - 
 $this->aliases[$alias] = 'http://axschema.org/' . $field;

Bad news for openid in general, but it doesn't affect the code. It's only a 
namespace, so it doesn't matter who owns the url -- no connections are made to 
the host.
