I'd just like to clear up at least one assumption, if only for myself.
 I don't believe anyone is advocating that UIDs may *only* be URLs.
So if for some reason a URL is not available or cannot be guaranteed
to be unique (to the subject of the hCard), then other forms of IDs
are acceptable.  The only argument that I see here is whether URLs are
*ever* acceptable as UIDs, correct?
