Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the point of all this to be able to put
the URI in an OpenURL? And info was invented (in part) to avoid putting
http URIs in OpenURLs (because they are complicated enough already, why
clutter them further). So I don't see that pursuing an http solution to
this is very useful. --Ray
