Comment from: eric@projectliberty.org

Name: Eric Tiffany
Title: Interop and Conformance Tech Lead
Organization: Liberty Alliance
Regarding Specification: Metadata

The DNS resolution introduction (sect 4) states (lines 1216-1218): "A consumer that supports both approaches defined in this document MUST attempt resolution via DNS before using the "well-knownlocation" mechanism."
 
This seems overly restrictive, unenforcable, and something that should be left as a deployment decision.  As an analogy, there are many times when (for good reason) the /etc/hosts table is used to override the addresses that would be obtained from DNS.
