The wiki page at http://esw.w3.org/topic/FindingResourceDescriptions omits two obvious potential solutions: 1. Hand out the URI of the metadata (which should *include* a link to the data) instead of handing out the URI of the data directly. It seems silly to add a new header to the HTTP protocol just because data publishers can't remember to hand out the metadata URI. 2. Bundle the data with the metadata, as previously described here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Feb/0039.html Perhaps these solutions wouldn't be good enough for the use cases you wish to address, but what exactly *are* the use cases? The wiki page has only a placeholder for them.
