[uf-discuss] UID in iCalendar

[Dimitri Glazkov]

Sorry about that! :) But.. isn't that beside the point?

The implied UID algorithm could be as follows:

* if UID is specified, use it
* otherwise, if id attribute is specified, construct full URL with
fragment identifier and use it as UID
* otherwise, if only one vevent present in document, use document URL
and use it as UID
* otherwise, don't specify UID.
