Increased complexity in resolver.

["Steven Churchill" <steven.churchill@xdi.org>]

(Please refer to increased-complexity-in-authority-graph.doc. This is the
same one I sent earlier.)

So the resolver is walking across the top-level subsegments. It encounters a
global xref, so it duly invokes the authority resolution service (of the
previous subsegment). It gets back an XRD. Now the resolver needs to
evaluate the type of the next subsegment -- if it's another global xref then
it can continue walking. Else it has to error out.

I would sure hate to see that type of logic in the resolution spec.

I think I've managed to confused everyone (again) by sending the wrong
document. 

The attachment increased-complexity-in-authority-graph.doc summarizes my
discussion with Drummond yesterday. For one thing, I fear that we've
redefined the meaning of the term "XRI synonym". In the diagram you will
note that when adding the localID "+west",  @ootao*west is (still) a synonym
for @ootao+west (they resolve to the same XRD), but @ootao*west*steve would
no longer be a synonym for @ootao+west*steve.

The other attachment (increased-complexity-in-authority-graph-flatness.doc)
talks about the flat structure for local delegation within global xrefs.
