This is a newforms field for OpenID 1 & 2.

It normalizes and validates OpenID identifiers according to the spec:

  • xri://=joelwatts to =joelwatts
  • joelwatts.com to http://joelwatts.com/
  • www.joelwatts.com to http://joelwatts.com/

An identifier that is well-formed, but not an OpenID (e.g. example.com), will cause a validation error.

Requires Python OpenID Library 2.x.x.
