hello, and thank you for the comment.
I can understand your belief that a WoT can only work with individuals
with similar interests and community, but I must suggest this is not
neccisarily the case, if done intelligently.
I understand it is important to recognize the differences, and therefore
differences in requirements, between different types of 'entities' in a
WoT. trying to treat all of them the exact same way will only lead to
confusion and a system which does not accurately describe 'trust' or
help users use the system.
But by keeping in mind, and designing for, these differences in needs
and natures of entities, I think we can create a WoT that really works.
I am working on an example, but it might be a few days.
