Thanks for the pointer.

I am also a bit concerned about the fact that one supported scenario for
"discovery" seems to be:

a) issue HTTP get

b) if content type of response is "text/html" parse (!) HTML (!) document
and try to discover a HTML "link" element to the actual disco document. This
would require that anybody who wants to use this mechanism needs to have a
HTML parser (unless XHTML is required, but I haven't seen this as
assumption).

Comments?
