I have an object with 

URN:LSID:landcareresearch.co.nz:Names:0F9D60F1-59C7-495D-A37E-09C23770DD18

I think the problem is that, without me telling my software something I have 
gathered from this email, my software has no means to know about what you 
describe as easy.

Unless it has an LSID resolver, in which case it would not need the http 
method.

This is what the proposal to always use alternating http and LSID guids in any 
object we communicate about is saying. Whenever you publish 
URN:LSID:landcareresearch.co.nz:Names:0F9D60F1-59C7-495D-A37E-09C23770DD18 you 
also have to provide the http version of it.
