Just to echo what Mo said, people won't use them if they don't know what
they are, or rather why they are used. To someone just looking at WebID as
a distributed identity system, who might have lots of experience building
web sites (or maybe not so much), but no experienced with Linked Data, the
hashes don't stand out as significant. I think it would be very helpful if
the spec included a brief explanation of their use and a link to more
in-depth reading. (Don't just point to a long external document, as
developers will not be compelled to read a long doc if they don't
immediately see the value.)
