Markus,

1) I had thought now that XRD was stable that this was an opportunity for 
Higgins to update its resolution code to use XRD instead of XRDS. 

2) I had also thought that we could drop support for xri 2.0 syntax and just 
(for simplicity) support xri 3.0. However after talking to Drummond just now he 
reminded me that xri.net has not yet been updated to support xri 3.0 syntax and 
thus it would be better to wait on this change.

In fact if I understood Drummond he suggested it would be better to wait on 1) 
AND 2) above and make all the changes at once in a few months when the XRI TC 
had progressed and Neustar had upgraded.
