Firstly, I am suggesting that if TimBL is to be used as an example, then 
his actual WebID should be used. That bug boils to making up a non 
existent URI for TimBL when he has a functional URI that actually 
demonstrates Linked Data very well.

In regards to:

[[
<http://example.org/timbl#> as a URI that idenfies TimBL. That's in
accurate. If you want to stick with <dns:example.org> then it would be
<http://example.org/timbl#i> .
]]


There are other problems, in regards to the profile data returned by 
Facebook which simply doesn't make them an acceptable example in this 
context. I don't have a preferred WebID style (#, #i, slash etc.., the 
are components of what should be an opaque identifier) , I just want 
them to conform to Linked Data principles [1][2]. I want the examples in 
these specs to make sense and not confuse readers.

just noticed has G+ markup issues that I'll fix later)

[2] http://bit.ly/1udMVnD -- Vapor Report on my Facebook WebID (note: 
there is no relation that associates 
<http://graph.facebook.com/kidehen#> with 
<http://graph.facebook.com/kidehen> i.e., we have an implicit rather 
that explicit association, which is no good in regards to Linked Data 
clarity

The same thing using TimBL's actual WebID and you have the missing 
clarity re. how his WebID and WebID-Profile document are associated .
