[Developers] Odd ID Showing

[Will Merydith]

The issue on my end is I need a reliable and consistent key to the movie
entry on Freebase.  I use that key not only to maintain the link to the
Freebase data (since I don't store the full film data locally), but also to
create a permalink on my app to that movie listing.

I was advised not to use the freebase guid.  But instead the namespace.  But
in searching only 40 movies I found (noticed) this inconsistency.

Hmmm.
