Check, I took a second look at the site. Looks like LSID resolution  
could perfectly work for these things as well. Thanks Martin and Mark  
for clarifying the extensibility of LSID metadata resolution. I  
previously overlooked that completely.

I would welcome that discussion. I could not find tags for things  
like example input, example output and extended help yet, but those  
would be useful for many of us. And it would hamper interoperability  
if everyone designs their own lollypop for that functionality.

Which is great as well!

I saw the light,
