Description

The various implementations might differ in how they allow users to manage their accounts. Should the data that describes these options be standardized somehow, so that various clients can present them to the users?

Example: Alice wants to delete her account on https://alice.solid.community. How does she know that to delete her account she must visit https://alice.solid.community/account/delete ?

Does she have to go through the account provider's UI, should there be standardized APIs, or at least a data model that describes the various possibilities for account management?
