This was a VERY long thread about UIDs, ISBNs, and referencing "objects"
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-April/003805.html

Given that the citation microformat will handle all the information
about how to reference and identify a book, article, etc. Most of that
can easily be extracted and reused to reference a DVD, computer,
anything with an identifier.
