Hcard is easier
#
[KevinMarks]
The tricky problem is the email to url one
#
jacky

#

some people might not have access to control `.well-known` routes
#
[tantek]
yup, that's a known failure point and why .well-known in general is a bad idea. though this is more dev
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is .well-known?
#
Loqi
well-known is literally the path "/.well-known/" under a domain and used as a standardized location for discovering domain-wide meta-data https://indieweb.org/.well-known

comes back to whether someone controls the whole domain or just a subdomain or even just a page. email addresses (imho) aren't IDs.

I wonder if there's a list of "well-known" .well-knows, because I'm never able to find one.
#
[AlisonW]
the main one is 'acme-challenge'
#
[AlisonW]
