WebID-ISSUE-4 (bblfish): Detail Authorization "protocol" using WebID

Doing some of what OAuth does using WebID seems to require not much more than adding one relation to a Personal Profile document, and having servers use WebID authentication.

A very initial idea of how this can work was written up in the blog post
"Sketch of a RESTful photo Printing service with foaf+ssl"

Some research is being done on this to extend. It would require some implementations.

 We need to compare the possibilities enabled by this to what is done with OAuth, the same way we have worked on comparisons with OpenID.
