I think this a good idea, but I'm unsure as to specifically what you are
changing here. Are you talking about the link rel=""? And if so, isn't
that now being replaced by Yadis discovery?
I think we've got a lot of work to do if we want to change *all*
instances of "identity" to "identifier" (where that change is
appropriate, of course.)
