Ryan, That made me laugh out loud. I was definitely responding to uid+url as non-identity relations earlier and it seemed perfectly clear in my head as well. =) So, don't equal UIDs already imply identitical hCards? In other words, what I think we've really been discussing is how to discover hCards for identical entities, using either URL or SOURCE (or "via", although I think SOURCE is much better). Frankly, it seems like it would work if it SHOULD be expected that consume apps MAY use URL and/or SOURCE to look for identical hCards. I believe this approach allows both uid+url and uid+source to link to "related" and/or "sourcing" hCards without any of further restrictions on the UID. -j -- Joe Andrieu [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (805) 705-8651 "An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.
