Re: .well-known

I'm sorry to ask this question at this point, but is .well-known 
*really* needed for this?

I am concerned that it is just adding complexity and network accesses 
for dubious benefit.  AFAICT -- but please correct me if I've overlooked 
something -- the only "benefit" that .well-known adds here is to allow 
users to use non-standard names for their metadata files.  And what 
*real* benefit is that?  It seems to me to be adding pointless 
variability.  Are there really cases where users *cannot* name their 
metadata files to end with "-metadata.json"?  If so what are they?
