RE: [xri] PLEASE REVIEW: WD11 Section 8 (Yadis) proposed text

["Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@cordance.net>]

Nat,

The Yadis spec at yadis.org (http://yadis.org/papers/yadis-v1.0.pdf) does
not specify any HTTP(S) success or failure codes. The reasons (as I remember
them) were: a) it's just standard HTTP(S), so all the standard HTTP(S) error
codes apply, and b) if the HTTP(S) server you are talking to doesn't know
anything about XRDS documents, it's simply going to give you standard HTTP
response codes anyway. 

I suppose we could add a sentence saying that the standard HTTP response
codes defined in RFC 2616 apply. Would that help?

Hi.

Don't we need to specify the HTTP status code for both success and  
failure?
Also, what should be returned for the failure case, especially when  
HEAD request was used?
