I don't think that adding ALSO the religion, sexual orientation,
names of children and job interests to the VWRAP specs will solve
much. Note we are talking about the agentID - not the complete
blue print of someone private Real Life data.

EVEN if some agent login provider wanted to put lot of (private)
data in the agentID string, then that is his problem (like it
is Linden Lab's "problem" to catenate their first/last name
fields and later decode those again) and how to do that has
no place in VWRAP imho.

Does anyone know exactly which I-Ds (and which sections) reference avatar identifiers as first_name+last_name?
