Yes!

Said data space then offers a view on the declared entities in that data set, replete with links to n recastings, n describings, and n formats. I now udnersatnd that another "data space" could do the same - and even offer a different perspective by default (and different mashup of sources, perhaps). This "data space" is quite different to my little personal facebook graph that such a "data space" might "connect to".

It can agument my crappy windows profile's endpoints (with all the linked data tech limits) and give it's (very same) profile "full presence", at a different endpoint (with full compliance). Full compliance enables it to work with an engineered security policy, assuming actual secure nameservers for the public virtual name space (and several "well known" competititors, no doubt)

Yet http://uriburner.com/about/html/http://uriburner.com/about/id/entity/https/idweb.cloudapp.net/Home/About%01me is still around, giving a false impression.Should a validation agent with SAN URI citing that work? remember, this is acccess control (not just fun consumer-grade following stuff).

Authentication is covered by ASK.
Authorization requires much more than that. But, without Authentication 
one can't really nail Authorization in the loosely coupled manner we are 
all seeking.

There is a Microformat for hCard.

Example, but *ignore* the URI since its for example purposes only. It's 
also straight out of QA (which is in progress).

You can cut and past the output above into an HTML doc. Publish the doc 
to a space on the Web and then use the URI <{ResourceURL}#this> in the 
SAN of the x.509 you generate and persist to your local keystore.

We have a translator for vCard (binary) and hCard (microformats). Have 
you tried passing the URL of a Microformat bearing resource via URIBurner?

It could be issues with the cartridge/driver for vCard or hCard. Thus, 
if I have a resource URL  I can decipher what's going wrong.

>   There are so many views, and some have some and not other data instances. Sometimes I see the vcard pop up in the alternate view (of my RSS feed) in semweb landm, and other times not. While this VERY good for my immediate need (membership entity federations, all n of them), I cannot actually fathom the ones I'm looking at, and have.

I will be testing all of this very soon anyway, we are code complete, 
just doing QA re. hCard and WebID :-)
