We don't have proper FOAF support at the moment. We exchange locations of our 
peers to enhance routing, not to allow for all the fun stuff we can do with 
FOAF.

With full FOAF, we can connect to FOAFs, notice our friends, and use an out of 
band protocol to verify that they are genuinely our other friends and not 
spoofed by the introducing friend.
