Hi Peter,

I think you've found most of the best discussion (regarding MicroID) in 
Fred's and Will's and claimID's posts.  We (claimID) have been trying to 
act in a constrained manner for the very reason that small 
(independently) verifiable claims are needed.  These independent claims 
are the ones on which to build and apply a reputation algebra.

But nobody's built that yet.

So you're on the path, and I appreciate your thorough attempts to root 
this stuff out.  Please keep it up.
