Yes!

There are two fundamental misconceptions about WebID:

1. You only have one, and its exactly denotes "You" -- thus ignoring the 
reality that "You" is inherently nebulous
2. An IdP is yet another SaaS model service -- no concept of "You" 
controlling your IdP , just as they struggle to grok PKI without the 
centralized CA network.

They really don't understand a Web modulo some kind of "Big Brother" .
