Which is exactly what we wanted to enable with Yadis ... innovation  
everywhere! This is not a bug, this a feature! ;-) And, compared to  
pretty much all other identity systems, quite unique.

Hmm... are you working under the assumption that each "server"  
defines what the Yadis Services are at all the URLs it hosts? I don't  
think that if an identity host example.com hosts 2 identities, say
     http://example.com/foo
     http://example.com/bar
you can draw any conclusion about the content of their Yadis files.

Why wouldn't you obtain the Yadis documents "on demand", i.e. when  
you are about to try using the identity URL for something like SSO?

Why don't you point directly to the mylid.net Yadis document, e.g.  
http://mylid.net/foo?meta=capabilities

No problem, please do.
