SoLiD, and LDP dependency

Hi all,

I raised concerns recently on github about SoLiD's dependence on LDP
perhaps making it unsuitable as an API candidate for the WG:
https://github.com/linkeddata/SoLiD/issues/38

My concern is that LDP over-specifies implementation details, ie.
restricting which technology stacks are viable, which is not the role of
this group, and doing so would significantly impede uptake.

Options could be either abstracting LDP-specific parts out of the SoLiD
spec and considering it on that basis, or reframing it instead as a layer
between the Social/Federation specs (whatever they end up looking like) and
LDP for implementers who *do *want to use LDP as the basis for their server
(the latter being beyond the scope of this WG).

Slightly more expanded thoughts in the thread on github, anyway. I'd be
interested to hear what others think.
