+1: DNS *and* other (non-DNS) discovery mechanisms.
Since OpenID is used to identify (virtual) individuals, while the DNS identify
hosts or systems, there is an apparent mismatch of granularity.
For these sorts of discussions, use of DNS is usually meant as the means of
identify a particular server that, in turn, handles queries about a /set of/
individuals. So the DNS does not, itself, handle a full query.
That is, use of DNS is usually part of a two-stage discovery mechanism.
So, what is specifically meant for the discovery mechanism here?
