Note that we do have stable identifiers for isoforms, for example in 
http://beta.uniprot.org/uniprot/P00750.rdf you can find URIs for the 
isoforms we describe, e.g. http://purl.uniprot.org/isoforms/P00750-2.

There are also stable identifiers for sequence variants, for example in 
http://beta.uniprot.org/uniprot/O95567.rdf you can find URIs for the 
different variants, e.g. http://purl.uniprot.org/annotation/VAR_028808.

I'm afraid the two PURLs above don't resolve yet, I'll fix that real soon 
now... Also, there's still a lot that doesn't have stable identifiers, give 
that another 5-10 years :-)
