This is just a knee-jerk reaction, without knowing much about your
infrastructure. I think your latest suggestion, here, Rintze, is the best one.
I would recommend treating these first and foremost as *identifiers*, in the
linked-data sense, rather than web addresses. In that case, it's a good idea
to establish this kind of convention ("http" and not "https") so that it makes
it easier and more robust for machines to process. There might be use-cases,
for example, where you want to generate an identifier from the style name, and
compare it with against a set of ids from somewhere else; or to extract the
style name using a regexp, etc.
