Re: LDP service discovery.

Yes, I believe ldp:endPoint is what I'm interested in. I can give you the
following use case:

I run my own personal data space, which in the end is basically an
LDP-enabled server. When I got application X, I want it to be able to
read/write data directly to/from my data space. To do this, the application
X can simply lookup my FOAF profile (WebID) to find out where it needs to
connect to. You can further generalize this concept and apply it each time
there are two applications trying to connect to one another.
