Gio,

There should be no limitations i.e., no Google, Facebook etc.. It should 
simply be a case of verifiable identity that scales to the Web [1] :-)

Examples:

1. 
http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/Linked%20Data%20Documents/ 
-- you can see a lot of stuff
2. http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/AmazonS3/ -- 
mounted S3 folder which has ACLs in place (WebID and other protocols as 
the authentication dialog shows)
3. http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/BoxNet/ -- ditto 
box.net
4. http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/DropBox/ -- Dropbox
5. http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/GoogleDrive/ -- 
Google Drive
6. http://kingsley.idehen.net/DAV/home/kidehen/Public/SkyDrive/ -- 
Microsoft SkyDrive .
