Use a well-known location, like robots.txt, site maps, P3P and pretty much every other site-wide metadata mechanism does things.

Yes, it's ugly, yes it reserves part of URI space, and yes, it's not terribly friendly to micro-sites. However, it is well-understood on all sides, is widely deployed, scales well for complex interactions with multiple resources, and is less likely to have surprises pop up.

If the TAG or somebody else comes up with something genuinely better, great, but people have been working on it for a long time without much luck.

Cheers,

5. Use a different URI.

How would that work?
