The examples of robot.txt and such are anecdotal, and not representative
of the whole problem. I agree that indirection in an application such as a
web crawler is an uphill fight, and that in such applications, it might be
pragmatic to leave well enough alone.
However, there is a pressing need for retrieving metadata for a particular
site (and I'd say, for a particular URI), and that's why I support the
proposed issue.
Thanks,
