Why, I don't know how you've triangulated that conclusion. They stay 
because they showcase a user experience problem with hash style of HTTP 
URI for Mac OS X platform users.

Er.. open up the certificate used to sign this email, go to the SAN 
slot, click on the URI serving as a WebID and see what happens. Beyond 
that, working with Keychain is natural end-user interaction once working 
with WebID. Same thing applies to testing and implementing WebID.

Nothing.

It has everything to do with making the case for interoperability in a 
Wiki document that supposed to capture arguments.

Did I say it was?

As far as I recall, this has everything to do with the subject of this 
mail and the section in the Wiki about pros and cons of hash HTTP URIs.

See my comments above.
