Description
WebID provides a structured way to identify and refer to agents, but there are now other structured forms of identification, such as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials. The name and protocol of WebID-OIDC is very WebID-centric, and perhaps the protocol should be made flexible enough to accommodate other identity structures, such as those mentioned here but also those that haven't been invented yet.

Research direction
Start by reading the solid-oidc specification and the issue's linked DID and Verifiable Credentials references, then identify where the current WebID-centric naming and protocol assumptions are defined. Done would require an agreed design that supports other structured identity forms without limiting future extensions.
