I'm not sure either :)

What I'd urge (for their own good!) is for progs to secure themselves
a proper account, and encourage use of that. It'll give them a
stronger mechanism for interacting with interested parties in the
future, and protection against someone else more famous coming along
and using the same thing for something else. (Or vice-versa...).

Not that I recall. Overloading foaf:interest wouldn't be so
terrible... Or using another ns, there are a few around for taggy
things.
