Is RK's UID http://theryanking.com/blog/contact/#vcard or http:// theryanking.com?

Each hCard in that chain contains a *different* UID. That's not a
globally unique identifier. The *object identifier* of the hCard
and the *source document* for the hCard are two semantically different
things, and need two different constructs.

Actually, it is a globally unique identifier. I'm the only person in the world represented by http://theryanking.com, http:// theryanking.com/contact/ and http://theryanking.com/contact/#vcard. Any hCard that includes these as UIDs represent me.

Though each of those represent only me, I obviously have many different URLs on the web that could be treated as my UID. This makes things messy, for sure, but it's how people work on the web already.
