Why not go with the uF spirit, and mandate that this information
should be inserted by the controlling party in a human readable
format:

<a href="anything-here" rel="me" class="microid
microid:sh1:hash-number">any text here - e.g. "My ID"</a>

I am not very comfortable myself with the uF philosophy - I don't
really see human-readability as a must-have in most cases, and I find
that it actually forces some strange user interface compromises. The
transparency goal can be achieved in other ways (browser awareness for
one).

But since uF has a good momentum, and it's a good (set of) spec(s), I
feel that it'd be best to align with it instead of missing the
opportunity to get wide adoption for MicroIDs, which are a brilliant
idea IMO :)
