I am also rather unclear about what is being asked about.

Rather a lot of buzzwords that do not identify distinct concepts for me.

There are now multiple challenges to maintaining that commonality of
understanding.

  Some naming systems wish to use URIs to identify both a service and
  the method of resolution used to map the name to a serving node.
  Because there is no common facility for varying the resolution
  method in the URI structure, those naming systems must either mint
  new URI schemes for each resolution service or infer the resolution
  method from a reserved name or pattern. Both methods are currently
  difficult and costly, and the effort thus scales poorly.

Might y'all have pointers to said "naming systems", e.g., specs, websites,
etc?
