Re: IDs + 5; everybody - 10

The LSID protocol defines a protocol for resolving LSIDs some of which uses
web services. If it were a bring problem, the WS definition of this API could
be replaced with something else, such as REST. 

This is true with any API specification. In this case, the LSID API is not
that complex, so the translation wouldn't be too hard.
