In the LSID resolver spec resolution doesn't depend on the authority
domain name.
This is (at least was) a concept similar as for DOIs. If the original
journal or publisher goes away, the DOI can be rerouted through the
central registry to a different journal, or publisher that subsumed
the original one, or to a digital archive.
