Yes, you've brought up XRI numerous times.  To date I don't see any
benefits and no one has ever provided a list.  In addition, the use of
XRI's would require all existing persistent identifiers to be
re-issued which is a pretty steep cost.

That said, there is certainly nothing that would prevent some one from
creating a plugin that used them,
