on second thought, this feature could be abused by people who wish to
have many aliases. i think clients should automatically link-ify user
ids (especially in user profiles) to make manually following new ids
easier. this idea seems like a client feature and therefore may not
belong in the spec.

i still think this idea is relevant.
