[foaf-protocols] [foaf-dev] WebID support for Node.js

[Peter Williams]

Use the community group forum for mainstream standardization. As Henry says, don't use it for webid applications though. Outreach beyond the very pure model (that any standard seeks to specify) should be done where its natural. 

If you want to do micro data and webid, dont do it in w3c webid for example. It's not welcomed (for standardization purposes). Do do it though, so the message spreads. Promote the literal standard too! The only thing that ultimately matters is: adoption.

The mark of a good standard is folks still know its name, 30 years later. This means it has the kind of culture that means its fits lots of world views, not all of which may align 100%.

Beware of certain w3c downsides, since like any forum it has limits. But at this early stage, it seems the right place to meet.
