Quest for clarity

All,

A lot of energy, and time (which many of us really don't have) is being 
expended on what's become a pretty confusing matter. Thus, I am going to 
try to attempt contributing some clarity.

Goals:

1. Sound WebID Description -- where "sound" implies no serialization 
specificity and "WebID" isn't a spec, but an HTTP URI that names an Agent

2. Fixing the Turtle specificity problem -- a problem that exists in 
both the old 
<https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/WebID/raw-file/tip/spec/identity-respec.html> 
and the soon to be updated newer variant of the WebID specs

Regarding item #1, I believe that's working its way through to a draft.

Regarding item #2, a separate item from #1, I believe we have the 
following routes:

1. MUST for both Turtle and JSON-LD -- many have indicated public 
support for this, despite being aware it's better than leaving matters as is

2. Removal of Turtle from the spec, leaving it content-type (or 
mime-type) agnostic -- this is a resurrected idea (i.e., it was pitched 
eons ago, but ended up being voted down -- I was on the losing end of 
that vote)

3. Using WebID-Profiles (or something along those lines) to introduce 
JSON-LD

My question:

What have I overlooked, re what's outlined above?
