WebID 1.0 -- Section 3 -- Removal of Note

"Note

Hash URIs are encouraged when choosing a WebID since 303 redirects require
an extra HTTP request for an Agent to get from the
WebID<https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/WebID/raw-file/tip/spec/identity-respec.html#dfn-webid>to
the WebID
Profile<https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/WebID/raw-file/tip/spec/identity-respec.html#dfn-webid_profile>.
All examples in the spec will use such hash URIs."

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/WebID/raw-file/tip/spec/identity-respec.html#the-webid-http-uri

This has come up in some other threads.

Leaving the # vs slash "perma debate" aside, may I propose that this part
is removed.

While, I am in favour of the sentiment of using # URIs but I dont see any
evidence that this note will have the desired effect.  Why even mention
303s at all?  All the examples use # URIs so, imho, this point is not
really needed, and may add confusion to implementers.
