Limited specificity; extensible stages. For example, using XRI we 
might gateway (via fax machine) to a building with paper records, 
where a living person retrieves them, scans them in, and digitally 
signs the images before replying; this would be, to the requesting 
party on the other end, a very high latency connection. There may be 
other methods of discovery proposed later, where DNS is the first 
stage but trust does not rely on it ;)
