[OpenID] host-meta and "acct:"

[Santosh Rajan]

Let us take the example of a hypothetical spec that allow http content
negotiation. Now if http://joe.com were to support this spec, and a request
is made for content type "application/xrd+xml" at http://joe.com, what
should be the Resource returned by http://joe.com?
1) The host-meta of http://joe.com?
2) Or Joe's personal XRD (http://joe.com happens to be his OpenID too).

My contention is that both XRD's are same and both will have the same
Subject http://joe.com. It is the application requesting the Resource that
will differentiate the Resource based on context.
