I agree. The intention that someone might take a unAPI identifier and
apply it outside the context of the corresponding meta link or vice
versa crossed the line, IMO.

It also strikes me that unAPI could easily be defined in terms of COinS
in conjunction with a meta link pointing at an OpenURL resolver. Using
this approach, a server could describe the referent any way it sees fit.

Given these considerations, it seems clear to me that the current
mechanism does ultimately constitute a flavor of OpenURL Lite.
