  1. Today I learned that the host-meta spec that I thought was completely abandoned when #webfinger was picked up by standardisation by another group than @blaine – that host-meta standard, which is published as #RFC6415 (datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/) seems to actually be fully supported by Mastodon in addition to fully supporting the host-meta less webfinger #hostmeta

  2. @J12t

    "template" is defined in IETF #RFC6415 (i.e., Web Host Metadata / #hostMeta ).

    rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6415.htm

    #WebFinger 's IETF #RFC7033 mentions that here:

    "The JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD), originally introduced in RFC 6415"

  3. Using Web Host Metadata's #XRD & #JRD to figure out where #WebFinger is seems unnecessarily complex to me.

    (This is used by some #Fediverse software.)
