What would the ORCID reference look like? My understanding is that it
would look like this: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0437-3333

Very few people use the uri element in the author block. (I count zero
in the currently extant internet-drafts XML files.) Its intended use
really is for the author to put in whatever URI they care to that helps
identify them. Its usage is directly parallel to a person's postal, fax
and email addresse. So plugging an ORCID into the URI element seems to
fit that usage perfectly.
