==RFC 2426==
 
Section 3.6.7  of RFC 2426 (on which hCard is based) says:
 
<blockquote>
The [UID] can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify the format of the identifier. The TYPE parameter value should be an IANA registered identifier format. The value can also be a non-standard format.
</blockquote>
