I disagree that a single spec can contain discovery rules for all
conceivable discovery types without becoming ridiculously big. The
discovery rules in the current spec for just handling HTTP/HTTPS and XRI
discovery are already big enough.
However, I clearly have a bias for lots of small specs over one large
spec, and clearly your bias is the opposite. :)
