Based on feedback from Damian Barnier and Roger Hyam I've tweaked the LSID tester (http://linnaeus.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/tester/). The most noticeable change is that the "RDF" display should work on a wider range of LSIDs. Previously it assumed the RDF started with a <rdf:Description> tag, which isn't true for some of the metadata people are serving.
