Assuming s/niced/nicer/, I think the only way to identify the user
must be the sha1sum_mbox. The URL of the FOAF file would be
impossible to update in old archives (I can't bug the maintainers of
every archive in the world if I switch hosts) and the e-mail address
is vulnerable to spammers.

So, does anyone have an existing service that takes a sha1sum_mbox
and returns the FOAF information about the user? If not, I'll look
into building such a service.
