Having read rfc6690 over again in order to implement this, I am now further
convinced that using this mechanism as a way to shorten the /.well-known/est
to something else is not entirely right.
I can see how a CoAP multicast to /.well-known/core?rt=ace.est ought to
return a list of hosts that support EST, and that EST ought to be returned in
a list of supported interfaces.
I'm less convinced that we ought to be using this mechanism to shorten
/.well-known/est to /est (why stop there? can't we go to /?)
It seems like maybe a 301-like (Moved Permantly) reply from
/.well-known/est/*, but CoAP doesn't have 301 codes....
(weird to me that rfc6690 got published with an informative reference to CoAP,
as WIP... I guess the WG wanted to get it out. I wish our process would let
us update that reference to the RFC, because it confuses the rfc dependancy
process)
