Sure we could do that.

But why are folk so intent on using a URL when it is guaranteed to
result in a shitty user experience?
how is this "gmail.com/robyates" any different to this "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? is the user experience that different? sure sites could give out hard to remember "shitty" persona-urls but will they catch on? There are many technical advantages to having URLs as identifiers and if the user experience doesn't suffer then why not?

p.s. As blogging and personal web sites become more the norm won't users actually find it a very natural experience to be entering "their" URL as "their" identifier.
