commenting and other critical aspects of the Web and Internet
Hmmm, are you proposing this as an alternative to, say, OpenID? Can you
elaborate on this a bit more?
I for one would be upset to see foaf+ssl promoted as a rival to
OpenID. The two approaches should play well in the same environment, I
hope. For example, logging into my OpenID provider with SSL certs...

Dan,
I am talking about FOAF+SSL and the use of SSL verification extensions
to facilitate secure de-referencing without Web page bound
authentication. FOAF+SSL is not an alternative, it is simply the
solution for secure and intelligent de-referencing when Web Page based
authentication isn't an option. You know this anyway :-)
If you look at the scope, of late, we are writing Web ID (personal URI)
or Web Key (IFP values like Online Account URIs) to the self-signed
certificates.
Henry: note the new term "Web Key". I use this as the analog of a Unique
or Primary Key in an RDBMS. Goal is to make RDBMS and Web DBMS
technology alignment simple via terminology juxtaposition. I've also
noticed that FriendFeed is using the term: Key when it generates data
access tokens.
