The User Agent is simply a browser, e.g. Firefox, which is the user's interface to the Web. The User Agent is assumed to understand the semantics of certain service types, but not necessarily all. For example, if a user has two ID-attached services, bookmarks and contacts, and one User Agent understands both (because it's a phone) while another User Agent understands only one (because it can't make calls), then that's just fine. The User Agent is expected to know, when it encounters an ID-connected service whose semantics it understands, when and how to make each API call for that service. The User Agent is expected to ignore ID-connected services it doesn't understand. | |||
