WebID can be in either subject or object position in statements describing it. #112

~The subject or the object position in the statement depends on the direction of the predicate. Predicates can be used in reverse direction, in which case the WebID will appear as the object.~

Please see @TallTed comment and https://github.com/solid/webid-profile/pull/112#discussion_r1430480629 for a better formulation.

Predicates can be used in reverse direction, in which case the WebID will appear as the object.

This comment, as well as the title of this PR, remain inaccurate with a strong potential to confuse readers. There is no sense of "forward" or "reverse" here, nor of sometimes using a given predicate in one direction and sometimes in the other.

There are just some predicates that have Domains which include WebIDs, and other predicates that have Ranges which include WebIDs, and statements involving any or all of these may be part of the complete description of a given WebID.
