Given the current state of FOAF signing, it's probably best to just kill
the Crypto stuff out of it: I have a collection of ~70,000 RDF documents, 
including multiple thousands of which are FOAF, and 7 (yes, 7) are
signed. However, that still leaves the module with the very heavy
RDF::Core dependancy. Unless someone can tell me that my perception that
this is a blocker is just myth, which is totally possible, in which case
I can get into tearing apart XML::FOAF and making into what it needs to
be.
