Subject: An ontology for identity

R. Nachmani, I understand the appeal of simplicity. But simplicity can be a trap.
You describe a format that lives in signatures and text files. This format will be adopted. It will be submitted to services. It will be stored in databases. Analysis will be attempted. And because the format has no semantic structure, every analyst will invent their own interpretation.
The ontology is not complexity for its own sake. It is complexity now to prevent chaos later.
