  I wish people would follow this, instead of coming up with new standards in the root namespace. "llms.txt" [1] comes to mind, for example.Let's stop polluting the root of a domain![1] https://llmstxt.org/

  No, in fact I don't. But this post wouldn't be of any help anyway. It feels like it's about nothing, there is no substance, just stating some obvious facts. Without examples that lead to some real recommendations, this whole expertise claimed by the author is of no use.

  Does a change-password registry actually get used, even by bots? I don't see bots checking for a .well-known/change-password url on my sites. It seems a good place to put public configs, just to have a place for them, but not as a means of discovery.

  Why are they so specific?Why password-reset instead of a more generic link tree?Why discord domain verification instead of domain-verifications with a dynamic list on entries?Seems like a waste of time. I would just define my own spec outside of well known for my use case.

  The consideration about having more than one of them on a domain seems like something that's often overlooked.

  .well-known started tidy and quietly became the junk drawer of the web root. security.txt, ACME, app-site-association, and counting.

  How well-known are those URIs though? :-\

  I wish we had one for navigation layout of a site so browser chrome could render that in a consistent way. It would also be a boon for a11y.

  I'm not sure I like `https://domain.com/.well-known/robots.txt` any better frankly
