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

No, I did not mean NDEF-field, I meant the low-level RFID UID. You can
 see a similar discussion on it on MSDN: 
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/89c1d752-ea6e-4aaa-bc18-fe162b0b85d8/lowlevel-rfid-reading-in-windows-phone-8?forum=wpdevelop
where user SgtRiggs asks for similar functionality for Windows Phone 
8. I banged my head against the wall with WP8 NFC tag APIs on that 
very same issue: no access to the tag's low-level UID.

Here's an excerpt from the MSDN discussion describing, IMHO, a valid 
reason to have access to the low-level UID:
> Without the tag's UID or ATR or chip serial number there is no way 
to detect a clone of the tag versus the original.
> This is important. The class interface is interesting but DOA for 
serious NFC use without the ability to confirm the authenticity of the
 tag the phone is reading or publishing.
