[OpenID] User-editable XRDS files?

[Peter Williams]

Of course XRI does all this.

But rather than force folk to  go the XRI path "merely" to get editable XRDS wit delegation entries that are then hosted by site other than a controlling OP, we can have wizards at webapps do the same.

XRI should not be the only source of vanity websites. XRI should mainly sell itself on the portability benefits, not mere vanity XRDS hosting/wizarding.
