+1 for clarifying this. I'll repeat my POV that the URI of an account  
homepage -- e.g., http://twitter.com/cygri -- is a good URI for the  
account itself. In the contexts where FOAF is used, requiring these  
URIs to be distinct would be overengineering. And using the same URI  
would be super-handy when embedding RDFa in those account homepages.
