Something @anth said on ITC

> 17:42 I should also note in there that it doesn’t address the two things i really want it to: mandate utf-8 (which should be easy to fit in) and something for better @ mentions.

I actually agree with in both counts and it got me thinking...

We:

- Drop # url= from the spec.
- We don't adopt # uuid = -- Something @anth also mentioned (_see below_)

We instead use the @nick@domain to identify your feed in the first place and use that as the identify when calculating Twt hashes <id> + <timestamp> + <content>. Now in an ideal world I also agree, use WebFinger for this and expect that for the most part you'll be doing a WebFinger lookup of @user@domain to fetch someone's feed in the first place.

The only problem with WebFinger is should this be mandated or a recommendation?
