thank you Melvin Carvalho,
 i have written the reply to you, just had no time to finish it, yet :)

now isn't the reply but some comments:
.. foafpress.org is the best example and alive implementation of foaf
among what i'v seen.
> WebID is the one I like best so far.
what do you think of BrowserID's approach BTW?
is it all wrong and central-authority tighten (i hope not ,
i hope in personal mail-hosting, but the solutions aren't the turn-key
yet, like it is needed. Maybe we (i mean the developers of self-servers,
would contribute to this:)
or it is a bright idea, given that 'anything' of the current gen Web
- by identity management, is, anyway - tightened to the email accounts..>?
