Hi,

In most cases where I've been involved with implementing a single RFC
defined .well-known URL for actually servicing all end points, it ends
up being one .well-known for default configuration, and multiple other
(not .well-known) URLs in order to handle other configurations in
multi-tennant scenarios.
I hope whatever .well-known scheme is selected will handle
multi-tennancy, where thare can be differently configured service end
points servicing from the same host/ip.
I.e. can one host server multiple authz-info? (does that make sense?)

Regards,
Tomas
