You're right, I haven't fully explained one of my assumptions. That  
assumption is that we should solve the simpler problem of 'related  
hcards' first, before we try to solve the problem of authoritative  
hcards.

Secondly, using my proposal you might be able to sort out  
authoritative hCards by simply following the url+uid links back until  
you find an hcard that doesn't link to another with url+uid.
