Re: WebID-ISSUE-37: Should WebFinger be mentioned in the spec? [WebID Spec]

It's vague. It confuses three pertinent issue:

The acct uri scheme. Can such a uri go in the San uri field?

The resolution of acct to a signed xrd. Does the xrd provide a meaning for the acct uri?

How acct and the signed xrd relate to the foaf agent named using a http uri and supplying foaf cards.
