Let us take the example of a hypothetical spec that allow http content negotiation. Now if <a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a> were to support this spec, and a request is made for content type "application/xrd+xml" at <a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a>, what should be the Resource returned by <a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a>?<div>
1) The host-meta of <a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a>?</div><div>2) Or Joe's personal XRD (<a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a> happens to be his OpenID too).</div><div><br></div><div>My contention is that both XRD's are same and both will have the same Subject <a href="http://joe.com">http://joe.com</a>. It is the application requesting the Resource that will differentiate the Resource based on context.<br>

(3) My XRD has no Subject element, so I use as its Subject the URI (user account) I started discovery on.<br>

Which would have the same semantics as an XRD whose Subject contained a (special) URI which meant "the user account I started discovery on" (which is not the actual URI of the user account I started discovery on).<br>
