yep, goes like this sometimes:

"Hey, Mike! I have a FOAF, too!"
"Do you have a WebId?"
"No, I have a FOAF."
"Is it tied to a personal cert?"
"Huh?"
"Is it an authenticated FOAF? You know, can you use it as your Id on the Web?"
"Oh, no. Can I do that now?"

Now, switch the words FOAF and WebID in the above dialog to
communicate to different group of people.
