Thanks for this, Wouter

I largely agree with all of it.  I dont want to selectively quote you here,
but I have replied to various bits on github.

I've come to the conclusion that WebID 1.0 ED 2014 should not be touched.
At least, not for now.

I would also like to argue that non backwards compatible changes should
incur a (major) version bump.
