XRDS came out of the #XRI OASIS Technical Committee that I was contributor and co-chair of (XRI long lost in the dustbin of open standards proposals).
I am deeply amused that of all the effort a bunch of put into XRI, the only thing that ever got picked up and adapted/used was a relatively simple XML format for describing endpoints and doing "xri name resolution".
BTW, does anyone know if Drummond Reed has entered the Mastodon?
