Note that the DOI spec also doesn't define http://dx.doi.org.
From <http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/enumeration.html#2.9.2>:
The resolution spec for DOIs is the Handle spec (DOIs are technically
Handles). The handbook - and the Handle Resolution spec - clearly
distinguish between the Handle protocol (part of the spec) and a
proxy server (a commitment of the IDF and CNRI aimed to, but not
guaranteed to exist in perpetuity).
That said, it would certainly be great to have a LSID User's Manual,
and to have a central proxy server advertised to work in perpetuity.
We're pretty close to the latter.
