A couple of thoughts and observations Diva...
Could the taxonomy of "types" you use cause problems if the chosen
1-1 mapping for a UUID is not felt to work well i future.
"user" is also perhaps a different notion to a specific "avatar"
It would be nice if any UUID in a URI you use can be resolved (e.g.
to the avatar name) by any host that has the mapping (like the
distributed nature of DNS works), so its not dependent on the host
continuing to exist, or to be up at the time information on the
avatar is sought.
AS an example, we have shifted our data bases between machines and
have done so 3 or 4 times since we started running OpenSim, carrying
the UUIDs of avatars (and the UIIDs of regions we use) forwards to
the new data bases.
