What is WebID-TLS to you?
X.509 != TLS let alone WebID-TLS. X.509  its a standard for creating a 
digital representation of an Identity Card (Certificate).

There isn't an such notion as "having WebID-TLS" it is simply a protocol 
for verifying claims in a WebID-Profile document that you lookup via a 
WebID placed in an X.509 Certificate.

X.509 and Browser Plugins two distinct things. I don't understand why 
you continue to conflate all the puzzle-pieces.

This isn't about Web Browsers. It is about verifying identity claims 
over HTTP using trust Webs crafted using logic.

The W3C's job is to formalize aspects of Web usage that aren't 
formalized. For instance, RDF is a retrospective formalization of what's 
always been a nascent part of the Web, since inception.
