COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------



- (In response to Ben's comment:) Assuming this change
only represents a change to the  means to get more
anchor information, after you have the public key, and
that any additional into is protected with the key I
don't think there's any real security change here - this
is basically like having an anycast address for the host
in the current URI (from the security POV). If that's
wrong please do correct me.

- tbh, I don't find the new text describing the syntax
to be very clear. It says: "...where the URI section is
comprised of one of more of the ordered sequence of:    
   1.1)  an rsync URI [RFC5781],    
   1.2)  a <CRLF> or <LF> line break."

Exactly what is supposed to separate the URIs? 

- the example should show >1 URL really
