Messages 2.5 - Clarify that email_verified rules are context specific

Issue #797 resolved
Michael Jones created an issue

Mark Wahl was asking what the verification rules are for email_verified. We should explicitly state that the meaning of email_verified is dependent upon the trust framework or other context in which it is used. I suggest adding the following:

The means by which an e-mail address must be verified is context-specific, and dependent upon the trust framework or contractual agreements within which the parties are operating.

    We can say that this typically means that the OP has taken steps to ensure that this is an e-mail address owned by the user.

    "OpenID Provider has taken an affirmative steps to insure that the email identifier was under the control of the user at the time of the verification. "

    Put note on how it is typically used.
