Faces and 'Avatars'
If you're talking human identities - MAKE SURE to include at least one copy of the human's face - in their Digital Identity record! If they're shy or embarrased it can be an Avatar or 'stand-in' for the human (as opposed to those Driver's license mug shots everyone hates.)
Avatars doesn't necessarily refer ONLY to 3D heads or animated cartoon characters (though it can) but to SOME representation of the human. A proxy.
And while you're at it - in addition to making sure a human face is part of EVERY Digital Identity - also make sure we can have MULTIPLE avatars - per human - one for cruising porno, one for gambling, one for cheating on the wife - and one for just good old Dad.
