I propose remove cert:int datatype from the Cert Ontology and change 
examples in section 2.3 in WebID spec.
rsa:public_exponent is always integer >= 0. There is no need to 
duplicate this datatype.
I know that is the argument that cert:int is more flexible writing than 
xsd:nonNegativeInteger, because it allows white space. But I think that 
freedom is dangerous, because it is harder to process "  6   5  5 3 7 
"^^cert:int then "65537"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger. I think parsers should 
expect here normal number in base 10 notation.

Best,
Dominik 'domel' Tomaszuk
