Thats a good one - one of the issues we've had with working with OpenSocial - there is no "id" as its assumed the host URL can always be used to identify the app. Which is a problem when you move apps around, rehost them, reuse code etc. We've even been thinking of using W3C Widgets as a packaging format for distributing OpenSocial apps between hosts.
