I'm simply suggesting that email boxes are "owned" and therefore it is easier to assert statements when using them as a unique identifier for a persons interface to the Web. Look at Dan's FOAF stuff - http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1 If I said I "owned" an http:// URI, how easy would that be to prove (ignoring TLDs - not everybody owns a TLD)? Kindest Regards, Sean B.
