Yadis

[Drummond Reed]

Actually, Gabe, a reminder that the OASIS XRI TC *did* look at RSD back when
we were designing the original XRID format, which became XRDS.

And ironically we decided we needed something even simpler (and not as
narrowly targeted to blogs).

So, Evert, I think you'll find XRDS very much to your liking.

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.
