That definition is confusing, due to the same old issues with
terminology conflation. "WebID" is not a catchall branding term.
You have a WebID which names Agents.
You have a WebID-Profile Document that describes Agents i.e., comprises
their credentials.
You have WebID-TLS as an example of a protocol used to authenticate Agents.
Catchall branding doesn't work, it simply leads to confusion that
ultimately slows everything down.
My $0.02.
