 Nick and I plan to submit an paper to http://www.w3.org/2011/identity-
 ws/Overview.html. This ticket is for the outline.

 The potential starting point could be the idea that identity in the
 browser is inevitably a global property of the entire state of this
 browser, and that users should be provided with the ability to clear,
 store, and change identities. We can go from there into what identity
 really is (linkability), and then define linkability and provide more
 examples of how to recognize it and manage it, regardless of what
 authentication is actually explicitly happening.
