This is not a use case I encounter much. Usually I have some
application code that needs write access to the store and some public
code (maybe javascript in a browser, maybe some program run by a third
party) that needs read access.

If the answer is to teach my application code about WebID, it's going
to be a hard sell because really I want to be working on other things
than protocol plumbing.

If you then go further and say that *all* access to the endpoint needs
to use WebID because of resource-management issues, then every client
now needs to do a bunch of things that end with shaving a yak before
they can even start on working on whatever they were meant to be
working on.

On the other hand, arranging things so that access control can be done
by existing tools without burdening the clients is a lot easier, if
less general. And easier is what we want working with RDF to be.
