Does this matter at all? Because the OP must return the claimed ID 
anyway, so what do we care which URL it gets directed too? If you enter 
"abstractioneer.org" or "myid.abstractioneer.org" doesn't really matter 
if discovery works correctly, since the claimed ID will return always 
"myid.abstractioneer.org". Or do I miss the point here?
