Others,
The beauty of a WebID is as follows:
Adhering to the baseline principle of using an HTTP to name Agents
offers immense integrating and bootstrap utility, with regards to the

Obscuring what a WebID is takes away all of that power.
As I type, there are million (if not billions) of WebIDs being generated
all over the Web.
