I'm still not at all sure I grasp the purpose of this packet. But as the
discussion progresses, I'm becoming very concerned about the timeliness of
the data (size bothers me as well, but that's already been touched). We
already have problems, both conceptual and practical, with expired user IDs
(changing mail addresses, for example). Why do we suppose this as-yet only
vaguely understood (at least, by me) "attribute" will be any less
ephemeral? Might it, for example, be a JPG of my lovely face? What if I
shave my beard?
