At that point then I'd argue that the feature shouldn't be supported;
Yadis was developed to handle use cases like this.  While HTML-based
Discovery is certainly easier, I'm happy not adding to it beyond what
was in 1.1 and telling people to use Yadis when they need something more
complex.  I think that is a good balance between light-weight discovery
and features.

Thanks Drummond, but what if I am using HTML-based discovery? (that is
what I am going to use in my vanity domain, much easier to implement)
