Ah... so 404 happens in the LSID world too. :)
Wait... isn't this exactly the case where the software
is supposed to fall back to DDNS/NAPTR stuff? Is that
fallback mechanism not deployed in some/all/most LSID clients?

I'm not sure what you mean... do I need to know a resolver
as well as an LSID in order to look up the LSID? i.e. does
it work like USENET news, where I need to know a nearby
NNTP server as well as a message ID?
This perl software I found seems to do something with that LSID
even when I don't tell it about biopathways.org...
~/src/lsid-perl-1.1.4$ perl examples/client/lsid_client.pl
