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.
What address block? Please refer to the listing of my name in RFC
6350; noting that I am not listed as an "author".

Hmmm, I just re-read your original message to ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org. What I 
had
originally taken as a complaint about getting a way to have a unique id
(in this case, an ORCID) for the authors was instead a complaint about
getting a unique id for the people listed in the acknowledgements.

I can't say I have a solution for that one.
