you could implement this one above now, I've already done code for php 
that would let you do this:
   $email = $id->{'foaf:mbox'};
or
   $email = get($id, 'foaf:mbox');

it'd be a minor job to give short names to some common properties, or 
even make a simple method/function:

   $email = getEmail($webid);
