Re: [web-nfc] Will there be a way to read the NFCTag's UID?

Do you mean the NDEF ID field? If yes, then - by the current thinking 
- it's used by the Web NFC implementations, contains the writing 
scope, and it is visible to webpages. In other words, it's a special 
use of the ID. The main use case with this API is that web pages 
should see mainly tags designed for the web browser usage. Reading 
'legacy' tags is possible, but subject to security policies. 

However, technically it would be possible to expose the ID field for 
apps use, if you have a strong use case for it and can solve the 
security implications.
