I'll bite.
There are actually a number of http URLs that work like
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4983.2007.00728.x
One of them is http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1475-4983.2007.00728.x
Another is run by crossref; Some OpenURL ink servers also have doi
proxy capability.
So for code to extract the doi reliably from http urls, the code needs
to know all the possibilities for the doi proxy stem. The proxies also
tend to have optional parameters that can control the resolution. In
principle, the info:doi/ stem addresses this.
