http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197974779190 = a valid steam community page.

gameme, formerly hlstatsX, is able to link people's profile pages just from pulling their steamID out of the game logs. shoudln't be difficult to change this mod to do the same (generate gamercard info based just on the actual steamID)

You are right about the STEAM ID but like I said before, the problem is that the STEAM don't have any official gamercard and none of these unofficial gamercard generators support STEAM ID!
The only way to use actual STEAM ID is to generate the gamercard directly form the profile XML which it needs separate modding and isn't a simple code change.
