My proposal is that we use UID+URL to hint that there's an
hCard on the other end of that URL which represents the same
entity. Also, multiple hCards with the same UID may be
considered as representing the same entity.
In reviewing this I can't help but feel that I don't understand the
use-case
or the desired outcome. Will someone kindly explain? Is it that

considered 'authoritative?"
A number of somewhat overlapping suggestions seem to be floating
around regarding this.
There is definitely a strong use case, IMO, for somehow indicating
that some hCard over there is a more detailed version of this one.
For example, at the various conference sites I am involved wiht, we
mark up all speakers using hCard. Ofen it's simply
<span class="vCard"><a href="http://johnfallsopp.com"; class="url
fn">John Allsopp</a>
Now, if this could point at an hCard with more information about the
speaker so marked up, to me that would be potentially very useful for
something like Tails or Operator to pull in that additional
information, or for aggregating references to the same person and on.
As to definitiveness or authoriativeness, I think that's a tougher
nut to crack.
