[OpenID] Dumb Question: Why isn't http://xri.net/=bobwyman an OpenID?

Drummond, this smells strange to me.  But the only questions I can 
formulate are:

-- How did you get from 'http://xri.net/'  to 'http://xri*' ?
-- What kind of funny-business might happen with 'http://xri.ru' ' or 
'http://xri.joaquin.net'?

Cordially, Joaquin

Well, maybe this one, too:

-- Since I can run my own XRI root and resolver, ...  what?  (?)
