You are speaking about WebID-TLS, a protocol rather than WebID the 
identifier.

Whatever-TLS has nothing to do with a WebID or NetID or any other agent 
identifier scheme, especially if loose-coupling is the fundamental goal.

Authentication protocols MUST be loosely-coupled with Identifiers and 
the profile documents used to hold credentials.

For instance, solid already has this loose-coupling which is actually 
quite easy to demonstrate using the existing solid-auth library. 
Basically, I can authenticate via that library using protocols such as 
OpenID Connect which offers loose-coupling with OAuth etc..
