+
+This plugin enables "Well-Known URIs" support for WordPress (RFC 5785: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5785).
+
+From the RFC:
+
+   It is increasingly common for Web-based protocols to require the
+   discovery of policy or other information about a host ("site-wide
+   metadata") before making a request.  For example, the Robots
+   Exclusion Protocol <http://www.robotstxt.org/> specifies a way for
+   automated processes to obtain permission to access resources;
+   likewise, the Platform for Privacy Preferences
+   tells user-agents how to discover privacy policy beforehand.
+
+   While there are several ways to access per-resource metadata (e.g.,
+   HTTP headers, WebDAV's PROPFIND [RFC4918]), the perceived overhead
+   (either in terms of client-perceived latency and/or deployment
+   difficulties) associated with them often precludes their use in these
+   scenarios.
+
+   When this happens, it is common to designate a "well-known location"
+   for such data, so that it can be easily located.  However, this
+   approach has the drawback of risking collisions, both with other such
+   designated "well-known locations" and with pre-existing resources.
+
+   To address this, this memo defines a path prefix in HTTP(S) URIs for
+   these "well-known locations", "/.well-known/".  Future specifications
+   that need to define a resource for such site-wide metadata can
+   register their use to avoid collisions and minimise impingement upon
+   sites' URI space.
