This is even more fundamental if you place your WebId ( http://esw.w3.org/WebID 
) on that server. Your identity itself becomes something that you then control. 
To put it somewhere else is to make yourself under the tutellage of someone 
else. It should only happen in exceptional circumstances.

This is about controlling your identity.
