One of the original arguments against URI discovery (as present in v03 of the original draft) was P2P clients that are not interested in having a full HTTP client built-in can perform a simple GET request and download a file. There is no need for the URI discovery phase.
As far as the 'compromise' approach, I still do not follow the issue of 'interoperability'.
