[foaf-dev] alternate names for people

[Bob Ferris]

Hi Andy,

you are right, but I think there is something more, when people tend to 
use a different alias name then just the different name. Sometimes they 
create a whole new (fake) identity about this persona, so in my opinion 
this persona is another foaf:Person, which is related to that real person.

Cheers,

Bob
