similar topic to one i spoken few times about on webfinger mailing list came up at list working on Mozilla Persona, scanning through webfinger latest draft i couldn't spot our current solution for this case, i would appreciate pointing me to related section :) section 6.2 looks close but gives no notion that i decided to deprecate use of requested account in favor of another one. thanks!

Subject: Transferable Identifiers

This was brought up by the tent.io guys, but it's relevant to everyone. I
may start using Persona by logging in with my Gmail account. But
eventually, say Gmail becomes (more) evil, or I simply want to move to my
own domain, there is no way to use Persona to login with my new identifier.
I can start using my new identifier, but that will give me brand new
accounts on all the sites I frequent.

Can we solve the desire to be able to change my e-mail address (or in the
future, some other kind of identifier) and have it be a decent experience
using Persona?
