Great points.

W3C specs tend to focus on the technical side of things. Conceptual
what, why, and how's are scant. Sadly, therein lies a massive void that
inevitably affects adoptions. Organizations can't justify investing in
what they don't understand.

Quick Breakdown:

WebID -- HTTP URI that Identifies Agents (People, Organizations, Software)
WebID-Profile -- Document that describes an Agent identified by a WebID
WebID+TLS Protocol -- Protocol for authenticating WebIDs
LDP - an RDF (using metadata serialized using RDF-Turtle or JSON-LD) and
Linked Data alternative to WebDAV (metadata is serialized using XML) for
Read-Write operations
SoLiD -- The above plus some "best practices" (e.g, use of some HTTP
custom headers and session metadata) for a decentralized Read-Write Web
