None of this has anything to do with Virtuoso. All of these issues
relate to:

[1] WebID-Profile Documents
[2] WebID+TLS Authentication Protocol
[3] Proper understanding of the above.

Thus far, the only quirk I've found is that some of my WebID-Profile
documents contain Turtle content that's a little laxed on prefix
handling. By that I mean: if prefixes aren't declared and Virtuoso is
the target platform, we use local prefix caches to resolve namespaces to
URIs. Net effect, other platforms that don't go this far will result in
WebID-Profile document processing errors.

The biggest problem with some of the SoLiD apps is that they simply
don't provide any diagnostic information when this errors occurs. Thus,
you have the root of the "Virtuoso isn't SoLiD" compliant meme :(

I've found this out under 5 minutes during a session with Sarven
Capadisli when testing http://dokie.li with one of my WebIDs. Anyway,
more to come on all of this as a lot has been discovered and I prefer to
explain it all in plain English.
