The specs for the People Data API seem to be very Orkut-centric. One 
aspect in particular needs work and that's ID.

I need a way of specifying multiple IDs within the entry record. 
Something like
- Local system ID (in this OpenSocial Container)
- Email-1, Email-2, Email-n, (optionally obfuscated with SHA1)
- OpenID-1, OpenID-2, OpenID-n,
- Unique ID on Service S as multiple pairs. eg Facebook-501829088, 
Twitter-jbond, Skype-julian.bond, etc

At the moment, the People Data API doesn't seem to allow this sort of 
extensibility. And it really has to be done as part of the spec so that 
all OpenSocial Containers can generate the data in the same way and API 
apps can understand that data.

How do we resolve this and move Google to a more universally applicable 
scheme?
