Re: Observations on WebID definition and specification

Hello Kingsley,

> Who has implementation concerns regarding this direction? Ideally, they should identify themselves and participate in the discussion.

I don’t want to speak for others but, off the top of my mind:

- Wouter has made this point multiple times, one of which in [1].

- Sarven has made this point at least once in [3] (and you have +1ed that comment).

- Solid appears to require clients to request "WebID Profiles” using text/turtle or application/ld+json [2] (though I am confused as to whether they actually meant to use Content-Type rather than Accept). This doesn’t mean we necessarily need to follow what Solid does; I’m just pointing this out to keep track of potential breaking changes with respect to what others are doing; interop. with the current ecosystem is also a priority.

I can dig up more if you’d like me to, though I would prefer to let people speak their own mind.

Best,
Jacopo.
