So if we allow DNS to state that HTTP has > authority over non-HTTP URIs, we solve the authority problem. Ah, I see. For the use cases I'm interested in (HTTP based, obviously), requiring DNS modifications is a major barrier to adoption. I don't want to create practical problems in an attempt to resolve philosophical differences. Both trust and authority are highly application specific: can we simply defer questions about trusting DNS vs http://.../site-meta to individual use cases for site-meta?
