TLS and MIME are IETF standards. WebID is not yet a standard from any 
organization, I believe. Notice the difference?

There are a zillion pre-standards efforts on the Internet; we don't need to 
discuss them all in a WG that is about DANE.

WebID is completely orthogonal to DANE, or will be when it becomes 
standardized. Yes, you can pour anything into the WebID container. That doesn't 
mean that no other work needs to be done in the IETF.

No, you see I have a problem with you trying to legitimize WebID in every 
possible venue in the IETF even though you have failed to get support 
elsewhere. Note the difference?

You are mistaking "hurt feelings" for "please don't waste our time here; feel 
free to work on it on your own". Note the difference?
