- Having the URIMap element inside a Service element that also specifies a service type seems weird to me. It does have the advantage of being able to specify different resource maps for different service types, but somehow I always thought that there would be just one resource map (for XRD) for a site (perhaps from the days when I thought this would be in site-meta?). So I kinda expected something like <URIMap> as a direct child of the <XRD> element. I wonder what other people think about that.

Assuming I'm understanding things properly, the EAUT spec will use a <Service> element with a <URIMap> in order to indicate a site-wide policy for mapping an email address to a URL (on a site-wide basis).  Though, in its current form, the EAUT spec utilizes a <URI> element inside of a service, and the EAUT spec treats this as a URL template.  If URIMap is a valid element, then it seems like EAUT would want to use it, however.
