Also been some discussion on Planet RDF about using OpenID URLs as
identifier for FOAF and such (they are just URIs, after all), which I
also think a good idea.

In the absence of an OpenID, borrow another approach from the FOAF
world: use a hash of an email address?

Like MicroID does?

Again, this stuff has to work in the absense of either, since in
Address Book (on the mac at least) nothing is required; in hcard, only
"n" or "fn" is required.

It seems there's a lot of thought around this already in the wiki:

Or is there something different about this recent thread that I'm missing?
