Subject: Resolution: ... where's "Drummond Reed" in the XRDS?
Now, you don't have to change what you're doing for this, but: Exec Summary: why does the string "Drummond Reed" not occur in the =drummond XRDS? Exec Lemma: service-independent descriptions (like the string "Drummond Reed") help guarantee persistence. Exec Suggestion: would a prose description service endpoint (the reverse of http://thing-described-by.org/ ) help? Exec Realisation: An XRI with users managing their own XRDS may not be compatible with archival notions of persistence.

To hope for all this requires a considerable belief in the inevitability of progress and in the essential goodness of mankind." (Peter M.W. Robinson)
