Well, if your author ID happens to be "dist" or "module" or whatever,
you might get a bit upset... ;)

Having a small fixed toplevel space with "freeform" text below, is much
easier on automatic tools that might read this.

 cpan://dist/Foo-Bar
 cpan://module/Foo::Bar
 cpan://author/FRED

Otherwise, we have to specialcase out all sorts of odd things, and
whatever is left must be IDs.

 cpan://dist/Foo-Bar
 cpan://module/Foo::Bar
 cpan://FRED


I'd easily go for the former.
