DESCRIPTION (aka User Story)
---------------------------

[I leave that to other describing when and why you need this information]]

REQUIREMENTS (optional)
-----------------------

Information about a user on the web should be made accessible to other parties at the user's discretion.
I personally do not see how you can fix that without getting into pretty awkward management schemes that few users would be able to cope with.

My only remedy is that you rather "carry" such information and selectively disclose it when requested.
I'm aware of the fact that such measures require deep patches in browsers...
