Hi,

I think we should mention in the advantages how easy it is to create a WebID. I added a comment about it on the doc.
Overall, the paper should also mention that WebID is currently worked on in a W3C XG (listing organisations - that also gives more weight to the proposal) and should end with a proposal. E.g. WeID XG are happy to work closely with browser vendors and Webservices developers, providing opensource toolikts (they should be linked somewhere), etc.

A reference to the FSW XG would also be appropriate 

Alex.
