Web-scale Verifiable Identity Using a Dropbox Document, WebID, and WebID+TLS

All,

Following the recent threads about WebID and the WebID+TLS based 
authentication protocol, I've written a quick howto guide [1] that 
showcases how anyone using Mac OS X can get going using a Dropbox hosted 
profile document and the Certificate Assistant component of Keychain [2].

What makes this important? It demonstrates how storage services like 
Dropbox compliment Linked Data based solutions such as WebID and its TLS 
based authentication protocol.

I'll also produce guides for Windows and Linux (note: @csavern already 
covered this [3]) .
