I think you're still a bit confused about what was suggested. Every
URL is already a potential UID, so there's no need to add anything
onto the end. URLs are unique, and some of them (e.g. http://
theryanking.com/blog/contact/#vcard) identify people. That's all a
UID needs to be: unique and identifying. Many UIDs happen to be
random strings of numbers and/or letters, but that's not at all a
requirement for UIDs. So the proposal was just to add the UID class
name to the URL class name, e.g. <a class="url uid" href="http://
theryanking.com/blog/contact/#vcard">Ryan King</a>, not to add
anything to the actual URL.
Peace,
