So there's two ways we can go with this:

 - make itemid="" any arbitrary string, with vocabularies defining the precise
requirements on uniqueness and syntax

 - make the vCard and vEvent vocabs not use itemid="".

I think I'm leaning towards the second. The problem with the first is that it
might encourage people to use itemid="" for things like ISBN number, which
would lead them to difficulties if they decide their items aren't exactly one
publication, so for example a hard cover edition and paperback edition would
have the same item.
