 > I think we should close this ticket. Also for me it doesn't make sense
 to change the field. Doing this because of Google + is just lame.

 You are not going to do it because of google authorship, but because
 rel="me" as part of HTML5 as rel="author". You have an API to include
 rel="author" in author links and twentytwelve demonstrates the use of
 rel="author", but no API to include rel="me" in links, and no easy way to
 define URL which should be used with it.

 google authorship just shows that specifying rel="author" and rel="me" has
 practical meaning. I can easily see hoe facebook and twitter will want to
 utilize authorship as well and it might become usefull to link to your
 facebook and twitter profile for them to be able to increase your social
 mojo when your content is being liked or tweeted
