It's the most widely deployed identity system on the web. Including some of the FOAF cloud and also facebook graph. It's only the TLS/X.509 portion (ie authentication) that still appears to be a barrier. But that has been more recently split off from the core identity piece, which is simple and self contained. I still view WebID as one of the most exciting technologies out there. With some tweaking, it would be a great match for the identity piece of web payments. I will certainly be using it that way. > > Best > Anders > >
