>Most NFC use cases assume that the issuer of the tag is not the same 
entity as the reader of the tag which I suspect is why this has not 
come up before.

>This is a valid and important use case for tag issuers to be able to 
verify which physical tag was used.

>From that MSDN issue it sounds like access to the UID is not even 
possible at the OS level on Windows so not sure how the browser will 
be able to expose it unless that changes.
