Good point.
Perhaps this is more of a data validation issue. However, I rarely
allow UIDs to be set from external sources because it's difficult to
validate and can really screw things up.

Q. Can UIDs from other applications be used by the Address Book

A. UIDs might not be unique or have a invalid value. This might
create corrupt ABRecords or other problems. An option would be to
only use UIDs that contain ":ABxxxxx." Otherwise generate a new UID.
Eh? UIDs should be just that: Unique. UUIDs are pretty much guaranteed
to be so.
