I just added it
to the uid-brainstorming [1] page.

To repay the favor, I added more examples in [1]


But I think there are two questions here.

1. Marking up URIs more generally.
2. Marking up *the* URI for an item (this is what I believe is meant by
UID).

The UID microformat discussion is attempting to solve the latter, though it
is reasonable to at least document our thoughts on the former.



Thanks for differenciating "type" and "means" of data in this discussion, as posted in [2]. I agree URI is a data type, and UID is more about semantics, so there are rooms for co-existence.

Take a step further, in iCalendar, there are sugggested good practices:

UID:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is not a registerred URI, should this be allowed in UID? anyhow I put some examples to illustrate the possible combinations:

-- url + uid (url is subset of uri, so perhaps no reason of repeating here) <a class="url uid" href="http://example.com/contentspace/somenumber";>the item</a>

-- uri + uid
<a class="uri uid" href="urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6">the
item</a>

-- uid (not uri, see iCalendar example)
<a class="uid" href="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">the
item</a>

-- uri (in other use cases)
<abbr class="uri" title="urn:isbn:0950788120">0 9507881-2-0</abbr>


does this make sense?
