I think we'll have to defer to Brian on this one.  My impression (from reading
comments in the I3C meeting minutes such as "they have their MOBY triple and they
don't care") is that the LSID is intended to be used exactly as written, and that
deviation from that, such as what we had with our triple + authority, is not on.
If we are allowed to parse it into our own format, and still claim that it is an
LSID, then we have been ~compatible with it right from the get-go.  My impression
was that we were not.

Brian - your opinion?

yeah, that's probably a good idea... though it is breaking away from the keep
things simple until they become necessarily complex :-)
