Your observation is correct, but I'm pushing for the SHA-1 string
because it could be efficiently parsed, stored, and used; it's
essentially an optimization (or a preparation for an optimization).
If that's not a good way to approach it, then I'd be satisifed with
just a straight (name,email) pair or any other reasonably unique
string.
On a more general note, the idea of a uuid is to distribute the
process of canonicalizing identities. Does that not make perfect
sense?
