Here's a counter-example (not (yet) implemented). I've worked on a lot
of pages on Wikitravel. If I wanted to claim that I've worked on the
London travel guide, I could point to the London page:

        http://wikitravel.org/en/London

That page could have a microid <meta> tag that says that Evan worked on
this page. If I didn't work on the Paris travel guide, then this page:

        http://wikitravel.org/en/Paris

...would _not_ have a microid for my identification.

I think we care about associating people with resources. I think making
claims to user accounts on different services is a great use case, but
it's definitely not the only one.
