In my time looking at what people loosely call 'identity', I've come to 
the conclusion that the only useful statement is what one person says 
about another.  There is no point in logging what one person says about 
self.

The only useful thing a person can assert is "this is me/my key" being a 
necessary precondition for anyone to say anything about that person.

iow, Identity is an Edge Protocol.  More with pictures here:
