That's not a bad list, although there are some attributes missing
that I would have expected to see given all the sources used to
compile the list. Birthday? State/Province, Country?

Not to mention I clicked through about 4 different URLs
and still couldn't figure out what the data for a particular
attribute was supposed to look like :) .. everything is
a owl#Class type? (I'm pretty new to this RDF stuff so
maybe I just haven't learned to read the docs properly).

The main difference I'm seeing is that AX metadata uses
rdf:Description while you used owl:DatatypeProperty
and owl:Class? And the rdf:type values for AX metadata
use the w3 XMLSchema types...

If some ID attributes were added to the elements, it would be
easier to navigate the document, as the fragment would resolve
to something useful in a browser.

Would you consider filling in the rdfs:comment elements and
adding openid:example elements? I think the elements unique
to OpenID AX had been included on the idschemas wiki a while
ago, so at least there was some work started there.
