RE: [xri-editors] Important new XRID issue

["Dave McAlpin" <Dave.McAlpin@epok.net>]

We can do this kind of enhancement forever. People will always be able
to think of ways to specialize XRID elements in reasonable ways, Service
probably even more than Authority. And this _is_ a special case - we
could just as easily say we wanted different authorities for ranges of
persistent identifiers, or an authority that returns XDI style
descriptors or whatever. At this point our priority should be releasing
a spec, which means only fixing things that are clearly broken. I don't
think this qualifies as broken.

hmmm... seems like adding an optional attribute to URI here would be
more 
usefull (to my use cases) and more interoperable in general.  punting on

things like this tends to always lead to divergence, not convergence.
