So the directory server DOES have an authoritative list of uris -- because
there is no other URI discovery mechanism! -- but it doesn't really know
what services those URIs provide. That sounds truly bizarre to me. How
could that happen?
Okay, I know how that COULD happen -- idiotic configuration!
But more precisely, could you explain why a well-designed designed ALTO
server can give an authoritative list of URIs WITHOUT also knowing what
services they provide?
