We are only really interested in one of them, but we may as well alert users if their keys are somehow semantically nonsensical. So we want to iterate through each PublicKey and test it for well-form ed-ness.

This depends on how your test criterion is formulated. If your test is
something like "check the WebId profile is valid" then you probably want
to consider the entire WebId profile to be the test subject, and point
to the invalid key. If your test is more granular like "check the key of
the WebId" then the test subject is probably the actual key.
Sidenote: you could still relate the "key" with the "WebId" profile in
the latter case using dc:isPartOf relationship.

We did not envision earl:pointer to reference a resource directly. We
defined several types of pointers that have particular meaning. These
include X-Path, CSS Selectors, and other document-based concepts. We did
not consider something like an "RDF Node Pointer", which is what you may
seem to be needing. Is that your understanding too?
> Anyway, these are some issues I am trying to work over.
I do not recall this particular use case and would be very interested in
your experiences. I could imagine including an "RDF Node Pointer"
ontology if you can help develop it...
Best,
