Jurgen, the limitation of WebIDs to HTTP or HTTPS was discussed and agreed on by everyone at TPAC, was agreed on by everyone present a couple of weeks ago when Tim was in the room and agreed again on by every one present last week. TimBL was very clear on the limitation for http(s) URIs. So this is really no longer up for discussion. Can you please remove that counterargument from that wiki page. Thanks.

During the session with TimBL there was not so clear a consensus on #uris or not. This is what is up for discussion now. And I think we would all like to come to a consensus on this issue, and not other issues. I'd rather see people spend time deploying WebIDs than discussing this.
