Re: self-signed

For the sake of all our inboxes, can this lengthy discussion be turned
into discussion of proposed text for a WebID specification?

For example, who can live with:

"A WebID is a URI (IRI, technically). Although the basic operation of
the protocol is applicable to any URI scheme for which there is some
practical notion of 'de-reference'[1], initial implementors have found
most interoperability through using the common http and https
schemes."

I don't particular care for this text. But I care to see people
arguing productively, and that's more likely when we keep our eyes on
the prize...

I suggest an analogy with HTML's <img> tag; somehow the market settles
on conventions for what to point to, without the spec having to
dictate particular versions of particular allowed formats.

cheers,

Dan
