I am trying to write a PhD thesis on this area in order to explain to the security community
its' properties in the mathematical language they understand.

The WebID community is a nice group, but convincing ourselves that this is great is not
much use to convince the wider world.

There are a number of things to look at. But I'd rather have people in the security space confined of this,
than various hackers more or less aware of security issues.

That's something one could remedy quite easily....  Will see as I give in my first year report back. But the problem
WebID is having is not because the spec does not mention json-ld.
