Because he knows what he is talking about, since he designed the 
components that lead to the World Wide Web.

An HTTP URI that names an Agent unambiguously simply needs a "#" tacked 
on to it.

You make the URI (pointer) from the Profile Doc URL (address).

As I keep on trying to explain to you, right now the Web is full of 
WebIDs that resolve to WebID-Profile documents using this importance 
piece of Web magic.

The whole thing "just works" and it's happening without or without a 
WebID spec from anyone.

ChatGPT and similar tools already understand this stuff too, so whom 
exactly is some alternative spec going to bring on board?
