RE: [xri] XRDS media type

["Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@cordance.net>]

I missed the start of this thread, but here's the specific use case I can
speak to for XRI Resolution 3.0:

In some cases an XRD consumer (acting as an XRI 3.0 resolver) will want to
request JUST an XRD from an XRD provider (acting as an XRI 3.0 authority).
That means that no matter how many XRI 3.0 resolution steps (linked XRDs)
the provider needs to request, the consumer only wants the final XRD back.

In this case the XRD consumer can make a request asking for content-type
application/xrd+xml.

In other cases the XRD consumer may want the entire sequence of XRDs
retrieved by the XRD provider. In this case the XRD consumer can make a
request asking for content-type application/xrds+xml.

So, unless I'm missing something, we actually need both mime types.
