Your instincts are right. UID is a universal identifier for an event.
Two events with the same UID should be considered the same event
(assuming there are no trust issues).
Agreed. Though we will have to figure out how to treat two events
with the
same UID but found on different URLs.
Which content is authoritative if the two conflict?
I'm not sure it really matters which one is *authoritative*- we just
know that they likely represent different events.
Now, how we go about determining trust is a different matter, which,
I suspect, is going to be application dependent.
I believe the short answer is to use class="url uid", that is, use
an actual
URL to a definitive version of the event as its UID, and then you
can always
resolve conflicts between two sites posting the same UID by actually
*loading* that UID (since it is also a URL) and getting the definitive
details there.
That's what I was going in my previous comment in this thread. I was
suggesting also using rel-bookmark (not class-bookmark) to signify
that not only is this a *a URL* for this event, but *the URL for the
canonical version of this event*.
