What if the user had implemented Yadis some time ago and supports LID 
along with OpenID 1.x.   So when he pulls that XRDS document the 
consumer would look for the 1.x protocols only since it was not 
programmed when 2.x capable clients went out the door.

Does this make sense or am I being too cautious in my assessment?
