[OAI-implementers] OAI identifier resolver

[Adam Farquhar]

Patrick,

Thanks for locating and distributing the pointer to this IETF draft.  It 
appears to be carefully thought through.  It would certainly be much 
better to leverage an existing mechanism, rather than generate a new one 
specifically for OAI. 

Regards,

Adam.
