We know that programmatically because an OpenID identifies a person and
thus goes in the first slot of the MicroID. Any other URL representing a
resource like a Web page goes in the second slot.

I wonder why you think it's important, though. MicroID is a way to
associate an Identity URI with a Resource URI. Its beauty is in its
simplicity.
