LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook etc.. as WebID IdPs

All,

A quick FYI. We now have proxy/wrapper Linked Data URIs in SANs re. 
x.509 certificates produced by our HTML based certificate generator [1]. 
Thus, if you follow the directions from my earlier post [2], you now 
have an option (via the Wizard UI) for using proxy/wrapper URIs as WebID 
watermarks in x.509 certificates.

The proxy/wrapper URIs we generate basically work with existing WebID 
clients (from others) without modification. We've used proxy/wrapper 
URIs as a layer of abstraction that shields others from the complexity 
of implementing data access drivers for Web 2.0 APIs.
