the argument being made for accomplishing persistence in the http:
scheme requires the a domain (at some arbitrary level), carry a policy
of persistence. thus, if a 2nd level name (eg: xri.net) stated that
it will guarantee persistence in it's namespace. thus http://peterd.xri.net
will never get re-assigned.
I cannot say i fully agree, but that is the "solution" which has been
discussed.
