Yadis

[Gabe Wachob]

Evert-

I'm not familiar with RDS, but Yadis (for HTTP identifiers) is mostly just a
HTTP GET which gets back a descriptor document pointing to service
endpoints.

I'm not sure how much simpler it can get. What seems complicated to you --
maybe its something in the description we can fix.
