To clarify my complaint here, I'm understanding you to be saying these
things (assuming there's a <Subject>):

- The content of the XRD is about a resource identified by the <Subject>
URI.
- Any <Alias> URIs identify the same resource as the <Subject> URI.
- The content of the XRD is NOT about the resource identified by any <Alias>
URIs

The third item makes no sense to me based on the first two, and I can't
imagine I would be in the minority on that.

I don't think you want to start opening the resource vs representation
rathole (nor do I), so I think you have some other thought process I'm not
following.
