Comment:

 Good catch. These need to stay as URIs; they're kinda like XML namespaces
 in that they're just an unambiguous name. I've spoken to @nacin previously
 about this, and `http://api.w.org/` was an option. It's nice and short,
 and it's currently unused. We could have it redirect to a devhub page too.

 We'll need to use other stuff from this in the future too; custom
 relations are used in our links like `http://v2.wp-api.org/term`. I think
 `http://api.w.org/v2/term` would work nicely, and it's short.

 `WP-API` in the RSD can be whatever we want. It's designed to allow
 conditional upgrading from existing XML-RPC clients, so "WordPress REST
 API" could work. ("REST API" could in theory clash with a future XML-RPC
 spec, if those are still being created.)
