A functional WoT should be no more difficult to use than managing your Facebook friends or contacts on your phone. Neither of those are difficult tasks, and are achieved by normal users every day.

I never said it was simple, and nobody is. It's clearly not a simple problem, or we'd have a better solution by now!

What is a “functional WoT”? The main trouble here: it's a really hard conceptually, if you delegate that hardness to 3rd party you will completely lose WoT essence.
