Ironically one of the examples Lee listed when defending the TDWG's resolver (urn:lsid:gdb.org:GenomicSegment:GDB132938) seems to have disappeared
GDB was shut down last year, and the organization that hosted it shut down the domain too. I'm not sure that a community resolver should cache copies of data and/or metadata for objects owned by now-defunct entities. Wouldn't that be conflating a resolver with an archive? I.e., the onus of object persistence is with the digital object owner, not the identifier resolver, right?
(I do agree with more or less everything else you said, though.)
