I think we can look at that thread in a much more optimistic light. Just consider that it dates back to Jan 2022. TallTed’s proposal https://github.com/w3c/WebID/issues/3#issuecomment-1051064330, which relaxes the requirement on any given format, is from Feb 2022. I refer to it in https://github.com/w3c/WebID/issues/3#issuecomment-1279931734 , which is from Oct 2022.

Of course some of us would like for there to be _no mention whatsoever_ of suggested formats. Others would like to see a few MUSTs on one or more specific formats. It is said that a good compromise makes everyone tolerably unhappy. I think we were very close to a good compromise.
