well, the MD spec does normatively (i think) ref Resolution already. so we've
already made the dependancy. i'm ok w/it as is ... this DOES mean tho that
we need the OASIS registry folks involved if other specs (outside XRI) can
define these (we had language which had reserved the '$' namespace for XRI-TC
use only. i do not recall seeing that in the MD spec (it used to be in the
XRIv1.0 spec tho).
