Sorry I understand the conneg now.  A couple of points:

1. A URI can have more than one type, would making it type Person and
Document solve the issue?

2. I think making your WebID and OpenID the same URI using conneg, is a VERY
interesting pattern.  But do the openid libraries always use:  Accept:
application/xrds+xml, or just try to parse whatever it's given?
