It's this attitude that I (and apparently other Web folks here) find disturbing -- to paraphrase, "we're building a new protocol, so we don't have to worry about what we do to the Web." Because WEIRDS has opted into using HTTP and URIs, it's opted into the Web, and that means it shouldn't harm other uses of the Web. Squatting on URIs is bad practice on the Web. Requiring implementations to use certain URI patterns is bad practice on the Web. And so on. While there may be no existing RDAP servers, the Web is pre-existing (and doing pretty well). If WEIRDS doesn't want to honour its architectural constraints, that's fine -- RDAP can use or define something else.
