Yes, compound != composite. Sometimes, we assume we are dealing with a 
composite (where individuality is part of the essence) when infact it's 
just another compound.

For verifiable identity to work, in a loosely coupled fashion, the 
network has to be composite in nature. What makes the whole WebID 
approach cool is that it enables us work with a composite, ground in 
logic, courtesy of RDF based Linked Data.

Centralization (the compound) is utterly out dated in this realm. It 
cannot be the kernel, it's okay having the option to loosely couple with 
centralized systems, but that's as far as it can go, logically.

The beauty of URIs is that they keep the composite alive. Of course, we 
starting making a compound the moment we start getting specific about 
URI schemes :-)
