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

[Joaquin Miller]

Thanks, Drummond.

Just so everyone is on the same page, for each of the two URLs below:
   is it equivalent to some i-name?
   if so, which i-name?

    http://xri.ru/=joaquin

    http://xri.joaquin.net/=joaquin

(Let's first assume that each identifies a HXRI proxy resolution 
service.  Then, if relevant, the case when they don't.)
