@trwnh @by_caballero since tel: is extremely fraught, especially nowadays with insane phone spam etc, a Signal/WhatsApp/etc address might be a good alternative example?

I particularly like the "established encrypted messenger" example because the wf->[rel=messenger]-> lookup could get Fedi encrypted DMs "for free."

(obviously lots I'm glossing over that make it more complicated, but in theory it'd be less complicated than many alternatives)

@trwnh @by_caballero (one thing to note is that it's *not* possible to declare an alias, e.g. a phone number in a wf or other profile, *and then* use that alias in reverse as a way to look up the original profile. I mean, one _could_ do it, but with questions of identity at play it would be an incredibly very extremely bad idea to do that from every conceivable security perspective.)
