I'm relieved: this is *exactly* what I'd thought the discussion 
nowadays was about :)

I see what you mean now. I was thinking of the field some blogs have 
for listing a Homepage (sometimes used for linking to pages of 
interest), and forgot about the display of ID (which, sadly, feeds 
back into your statement that it is fading into the past).

I do wonder how the identifier is being displayed (are we bringing 
the long, ugly string-of-random-text plus generation fragment into 
the forefront of user awareness?), but that's more of a curiosity, 
and I'll take this question to the general list.
