And maybe that's because what you're describing is actually more

talking about a single relationship: identity.
Yes. You're exactly right. I'm afraid I haven't been that
clear. When
I say "related hCards" I mean related in that they represent
the same
person or organization. I've been using "related hCards" as
shorthand
for "hCards that represent the same person or organization", which I
now realize must be confusing. (but it seemed so clear in my
head! :D)
Ryan,
That made me laugh out loud. I was definitely responding to uid
+url as non-identity relations earlier and it seemed perfectly clear
in my head as well. =)
So, don't equal UIDs already imply identitical hCards?
No. Per the RFC, UID identifies the entity represented by the vCard
or hCard [1].
In other words, what I think we've really been discussing is how to
discover hCards for identical entities, using either URL or
SOURCE (or "via", although I think SOURCE is much better).
Exactly.
Frankly, it seems like it would work if it SHOULD be expected that
consume apps MAY use URL and/or SOURCE to look for identical
hCards.
I believe this approach allows both uid+url and uid+source to link
to "related" and/or "sourcing" hCards without any of further
restrictions on the UID.
I don't see any reason why source can't be used as well as url+uid.
They signify different semantics, but are both already a part of the
format.
They only thing we need to figure out with SOURCE is what consuming
applications that convert to vCard (like X2V) should do. Should they
take the SOURCE value from the hCard or should they use the URL of
the hCard (as X2V currently does).

1. From section 3.6.7 of RFC 2426 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt):
Type purpose: To specify a value that represents a globally unique
identifier corresponding to the individual or resource associated
with the vCard.
...
Type special notes: The type is used to uniquely identify the object
that the vCard represents.
