MicroID itself is deployed for the sole purpose of giving third parties the ability to verify that a particular user of your system (in this case, any Joomla deployment) is the same user as a user on a different system. Using a hash of the identifier (most commonly email at this point) and the URL in question (usually the user's 'profile' page on your deployment), a third party can confirm that the hash is identical. One other concern to be addressed is whether/how the users should decide if a MicroID should be published on their profile. Consider giving the administrator a toggle for the 'default' (to publish or not).
