"uid" is commonly used as "universal identifier" or "unique identifier". Both spellings means, that the id is unique among a great set of data, at least the whole dataset in mention.
This is not true for the osm id, which is not unique among different data types (nor it is among one type when history is taken into account).
It is confusing to name things in an unnatural way. Please change the name to the more restrictive "id" or something else.
