HTML discovery is in there solely for compatibility. From the spec:

  If a Relying Party locates an IdP using HTML-based discovery, it
MUST use OpenID
  Authentication 1.1 Compatibility when communicating with that IdP.

This is because you would otherwise not know whether to use OpenID 1
or 2. Yadis has an explicit type, so it's not a problem.
