Personally I have no strong preference, although given that the relevant
sections of draft-jones-appsawg-webfinger-06 take up about a page, it
will be quite a brief specification. :)

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-appsawg-webfinger-06#section-6
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-appsawg-webfinger-06#section-12.1

Do folks think that the 'acct' link relation would belong in the
webfinger spec, in the 'acct' URI spec, or in a separate spec?
