I hope it's accurate. :-) And after reading Joe's email and linked first paper on Identity, I'm swayed that Identity is too loaded culturally, and also inappropriate because of the way it is most commonly used, and shouldn't be used for a static property. Hence I agree "Profile" is better for the third, super-set. Or if there's objection to that on some grounds, it could be something analogous like Alter (used by the Psychologists in DID), or Avatar or Persona or Portrait or Character. But Profile works for me. Steven
