WebID 1.0 is getting to the point where there's almost nothing to 
specify, it's a one liner of words which equate to "a dereferencable URI 
for an Agent", everything else I see is just padding, so may as well be 
padding which shows how WebIDs can be used, imho - if we're gunning for 
adoption here that is.

Something I haven't noticed (may have missed), is any text which shows a 
distinction between an Agent Identifier, and an Identifier for a 
UserAccount, like twitter or g+.
