Hi, I think now it might be a good time to consider my suggestion to develop a separate (but linked) spec defining a minimal interoperable working implementation, which would be useful for interoperability, service branding etc. I already suggested this few months ago as you might remember, although not regarding URI scheme, but the profile syntax (conclusion: http://lists.foaf-project.org/pipermail/foaf-protocols/2010-December/004322.html ). I think this is a good way to solve the conflict of our desires - on one side WebID to be as flexible, open and architecturally "clean" as possible and on the other simple, completely interoperable with any conforming agent, easy to implement, thus easily gaining adoption.

Important downside: they are unintuitive. Basically, the problem addressed by WebFinger and Fingerpoint.
