Right, but there's also a lot of use to reusing things from the
present microformat (hCard).


vCard has a property called UID, which is defined as:

"""
Type purpose: To specify a value that represents a globally unique
identifier corresponding to the individual or resource associated with
the vCard.
"""

This is actually already in use by several large microformat publisher
(eventful.com) to between venues in their events and the hCards for
those events.

It's been proposed before that using URL and UID together is
sufficient for the things we're trying to solve here (I'm having
trouble finding a reference in the archives).

<some-element class="vcard">
  ...
  <a rel="me url uid" ...

This feels right to me. Also, from an OpenID perspective, rel="uid" in
an hcard sounds an awful lot like "this is my id."

uid goes on @class, not rel. It doesn't have to be on an anchor, nor must it be a URL.

[And yes, we (eventful.com) use rel="url uid" to point from a venue
hcard in an event entry to the venue's own (authoritative) page.]

Actually you use @class.
