Use URLs not URNs as examples

[kevinmarks]

Representing people as URNs is obscure and unhelpful. People have URLs and are widely represented by them on the web.

👍 IMO we should also reconsider use of acct: but it at least offers improvement over urn:
I would prefer using HTTP(S) URLs https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urls

The URN's used are based on this: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6963

The use of acct is there largely as a placeholder until the WG figures out what it ultimately wants to do around identity.

Quite a few social systems do not use URLs for representing people so we need to make sure we cover both bases. The vocabulary itself calls for @id's to be absolute URI/URL/IRIs.

That all said, a pull request to update the examples would be accepted ;-)

@kevinmarks interested in helping out with a PR? :-)

[dissolve]

Noticed there are still urn: values in, I will update later with a PR for that as well.

I disagree with this. We're going to see all kinds of URIs as IDs and types; we don't explicitly prevent non-HTTP URIs. I'd like to see some acct: URIs in there, since it's what we use for pump.io.

Use https-URLs please.

How was this resolved?!
