Thats on the todo-list.

Afaik, not all providers expose/implement that service as it is not required. 
E.g blogger, yahoo, flickr.

Currrently, some major providers that I know of w/c has that service is 
myopenid and
verisign.

Basically if your users use blogger/yahoo/flickr as its openid provider, you 
would
not get any sreg data that your application usually expects.

Imo, it might be better to ask data from your users in general whenever your 
user
gets authenticated.

I'll definitely look into adding sreg support.

Cheers

I'm sure all providers will be supporting it since it benefits both them (they 
can
get updates on user info) and the user (should only update their info at one 
place).

So it's only matter of time.

Personally, I have an opposite opinion -- if we delegate identity management to
OpenID provider, we should delegate user info management too. 

The question _now_ is how to use the extension with dyuproject. I've tried to 
add 

"&openid.sreg.optional="+UrlEncoded.encodeString("nickname,email,fullname,dob,ge
nder,postcode,country,language,timezone")

to the URL returned by RelyingParty, but somehow the reply from myopenid.com 
didn't
contained any information... any ideas?

dyuproject-1.1.1 and up has built-in support for this.
