I'm aware that /.well-known is standardized in RFC5785.

It was the the claim that /.well-known/void is "a standard" that I was
surprised by. It's the sort of thing that could easily be on a Rec track
somewhere, I just wasn't aware of it.

FWIW I'm perfectly happy with VoID's current status as an Interest Group
note.
