There's one or two people (round here) that have FOAF files that are 
mostly about themselves. But they also contain foaf:Persons that don't 
have a knows relation to them and have significant information about 
that person. This is not bad RDF, but I think it is bad FOAF. In the 
sense that you shouldn't be asserting statements about other people 
beyond a name, mbox_sha1sum and maybe a seeAlso. And you shouldn't be 
doing even that except to declare a knows relation.
