Modularizing Auth 2.0 Discovery

Yeah, I'd see this either as a Yadis 1.1 (using things like LocalID
versus OpenID:Delegate) or have the OpenID URL Discovery spec replace
Yadis, referencing chapter 3 as needed.

I think I'd lean toward swallowing Yadis in as a part of this spec so it
is one fewer documents people need to read in total.

Perhaps then Yadis (or something else) can describe the subset of the
XRDS schema used for service discovery, referencing the full XRDS
specification only as a formality?

I agree that XRI Resolution chapter 3 is a bit "big" for our purposes.
