You may want to use your WebId credential in some cases, and
other credentials in other cases.  Many Web sites don't need
any information about you, they just need to know that you
are the samy guy who created an account at the site.  In
that case it makes sense to present a certificate issued by
the relying party itself, automatically, at registration
time.
