[Solar-talk] Handles or IDs?

Hi all!

I'm thinking of migrating to using user ids instead of user handles,
but all Solar classes use handles (strings). Is everyone using just
handles or is someone using IDs? What do you think, should we keep the
all the adapters handle based and deal with the problem somehow or try
to change to using IDs only? This is also relates to, say, role ids.

My problem started when I realized that I don't want to store user
handles in my tagmap table which will have a lot of rows (all the tag
id/user handle combinations).

I want to choose one or the other and stick with it. Any thoughts? How
Mashery deals with this?
