"who you are" is a reasonable place to begin, but does not have

I see that people will have many personas, but only one identity.
Each persona presents a different facet of themselves.
Slippery slope alert!
This statement seems to mix the every-day meaning of identity with
the formal definition that is necessary for technical progress.
Perhaps the formal definition should be adjusted to the everyday
meaning so that it is more useful? ... and we user other terms that
are nice and specific for clarity.
What is the precise relationship between a persona and an identity?
I have an identity. It is all the properties about me. I want a means
of moving that identity data to a site.
A persona is a set of properties aka. identity data.
Who gets to know that relationship?
The user.
