FOAF+SSL is not an alternative, it is simply the solution for secure and intelligent de-referencing when Web Page based authentication isn't an option. You know this anyway :-) If you look at the scope, of late, we are writing Web ID (personal URI) or Web Key (IFP values like Online Account URIs) to the self-signed certificates. Henry: note the new term "Web Key". I use this as the analog of a Unique or Primary Key in an RDBMS. Goal is to make RDBMS and Web DBMS technology alignment simple via terminology juxtaposition. I've also noticed that FriendFeed is using the term: Key when it generates data access tokens.
