Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure of the need to have the second and this discovery options, rather than just the dns record - still, they don't detract from general operation for most users and provide additional options for some situations, such as government organisations with limited access to their DNS systems.
Can I assume that an a direct-service http method, the same server port/interface will host both the web client and the federation? Am I also right in thinking that this will provide a websockets interface for other clients - again on the same port? If this is the case, it's another massive bonus for the http method, because it means all communication with the server can be achieved on a single arbitrarily selectable port!
