So... why not just use the 'DOI' as the canonical URI then?

Is it just so they can try to extract some SEO magic juice from the URI?

That's the idea. We would like people to. We have about 5000 publisher members. Co-ordinating an entire industry can take time.

As to why people don't... I wish I knew.
