Hello XRI TC, OpenXRI list,

I set up an experimental service that maps the XRDS format currently used by XRI Resolution [1] to the XRD format [2].

E.g. try this: http://xri2xrd.net/=markus

You will get:

<XRD xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/xri/xrd-1.0";>

The mapping is lossy, i.e. not all of the XRDS semantics are completely carried over to XRD.
If you have thoughts/comments about the mapping, please let me know.

A tool like this can be useful to make i-names compatible with discovery mechanisms such as LRDD and Webfinger.

The code for the xri2xrd tool has been contributed to OpenXRI.
