Why do you still have this warning:

"Implementers are highly encouraged to use hash URIs for the WebID HTTP 
URI. Even though 303 redirects have been used in the past, experience 
has shown that they can be difficult to deploy and can have an impact on 
performance. However WebID Verifiers must not fail when dereferencing 
hashless URIs, though they may flag them as potentially impacting on 
performance."

You don't need that piece of confusion. The examples can be hashed based 
and just leave it at that.

I thought this matter was completely closed based on the vote i.e.:

1. A WebID is a HTTP URI
2. Use hash based HTTP URIs in all examples.
