Agenda

1) Discuss issues here
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/higgins-dev/msg01630.html 

2) Discuss with Andy, Steve and Drummond the best way to construct a
ContextId when one endpoint supports N Context instances. 

We do understand that the ContextId resolves to an XRDS document. But we
don’t understand which of these two is right:

a) the <type> is extremely generic; indicating the "protocol and api"
   e.g. "http://openid.net/server/2.0"; 

b) the <type> encodes the above as well as indentifies a Context instance

For example using the ContextId "=paul.trevithick/vcard":

In the (a) case would the "=paul.trevithick" part resolve to
"http://example.com"; to which we append the rest ("/vcard") and thus GET the
XRDS document at "http://example.com/vcard";? If so then there would be one
XRDS document per Context.

What would we do in the (b) case?
