IoT is a big one, and yes I agree, IoT is massive. Yet I see a need for WebID-TLS interop via LDP, whereby the business rules can be significantly enhanced through the use of Creds / Payments standards. Noting, I would prefer to control the keys for my locks and switches than to trust an app, that's managed globally. IoT MFG's are often looking at the data-aggregation for additional revenues though. Yet, that at times leads them to forget about basic privacy considerations, I've had experience with this problem with GPS related IoT devices already. I think thou: we've got two issues. One is more of an education or clarity type task, the other is more computer science related. Both are important, yet the former is more about webscience than computer science IMHO.
