The IRD is not authoritative. Sorry if you got an impression otherwise. The
directory is much like a DNS delegation - a hint from the parent domain that
the child domain might be present at a particular place.
Keep in mind that the IRD might be on a different server to the individual
resources.
Coming from HTTP, yes. Two questions arise:
- who has the authoritative information? OPTIONS request seems to be the
last instance, but it does not have to exist...
- could we not be a limit this a bit in exchange for greatly simplifying
clients?
I really would like to see this simplified, as all this complexity does
not seem to be founded on documented ALTO deployment use cases...
