[web-annotation] `account` likely to conflict with foaf:account

azaroth42 has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== `account` likely to conflict with foaf:account ==

The recommended mapping for `foaf:nick` is `account`.  However there 
is a `foaf:account` property, which is a relationship to an 
OnlineAccount that has further properties, rather than the nickname 
used by the agent.

Consider:   http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_OnlineChatAccount
Where what we really mean by `account` / `foaf:nick` is 
`foaf:accountName`.

This is a concern for systems that want to use other foaf properties, 
as they would need to create strange mappings where account is nick, 
not account.

Proposal: Consider using `nick`, `nickname`, `handle`, `accountId` 
instead of just `account`
