I nominate Dick Hardt
Doc Searls in a partially defensive response to something Dave Winer wrote about identity - asks:
….identity needs a Dave Winer: an independent developer and free-range technologist who tirelessly advocates something that will work for everybody — and for users and developers diggin’ together. I’d like to name names, but I’d rather see somebody step forward.
So I nominate Dick Hardt and his Sxip Networks as that person.
I run around yelling about FOAF and identity allot - but I’m head-down right now making sure that some of these new standards actually ship.
Dick has code that’s working and a pitch that works.
