A WebID is an identifier used to name the subject of a profile document. 
It is first an foremost an identifier for naming agents.

WebID-TLS is one of many protocols that can be used to authenticate 
credentials expressed in a profile document to which a WebID resolves.

Resolution can be implicit, courtesy of an "#" based fragment id tacked 
on to a profile page url or explicitly via content negotiation.

Unfortunately, WebID has been mired in the same terminology conflation 
woes that have afflicted RDF (and related matters) at large.

Increasingly, courtesy of Google's schema.org push, many webpages ( HTML 
docs) are simply evolving into profile documents i.e., this generally 
misunderstood concept is quietly becoming mainstream -- even though SEO 
using Schema.org (i.e., Semantic SEO) is the prime driver.
