@yvolk @andstatus @thefaico @trwnh @eliotberriot @cwebber Thanks for your thoughtful explanation, I'm not sure everyone mentioned here wants to be part of this discussion but it's an interesting one for me!

I use the term "identities" specifically to reference the "id" property of the AP spec.

And some of the technologies you mentioned (Webfinger in particular) are not part of AP, so I think it's important to mention that.
