Importing a conversation from #foaf to #swig about XRDS shedding XRI, and the effect on OpenID - plus should OpenID drop XRDS altogether?
tommorris: Do feel free to grab yourself an open source OpenID library, strip all the XRI/XRDS stuff out of it and release your modifications. I may have a stab at Ruby, but we'd need to do the same for Python, Java, PHP, Perl etc.
tommorris: That said, I think there should be some way that OpenID can work without being tied to HTML. That's a half-baked thought, so ignore it
tommorris: The XR[.+] stack is a route to madness though and one we need to steer clear of.
earle: Related: somewhat old W3C finding about XRI vs URI.

earle: A link in one of the comments shows that XRDS-Simple will probably be moving away from XRI.
