To tell you the truth, I did not understand your prior objections (and
the discussion has morphed a lot so it's difficult to understand the
current state of your objections). I also don't understand your
assertion below "if you want to buy..." and how it connects to your
prior objections. Note that I'm not asserting that your objections are
wrong, just that I don't understand them. I suspect there are lot of
people in the same boat as I am.<br>

buy the current story given by the webfinger, host-meta, lrdd, xrd
folk, they need to prove that an XRD is NOT "URI addressable", if they
want to ignore the Subject of the XRD. This also applies to host-meta.</span></font></div>

do support these specs provided we can come with a simpler spec for 1.0

forum in the last week or so.</span></font></div>
