Subject:
Unique handle generation
Since unique handle creation is still an open issue, could we not borrow/adapt a UUID generating algorithm for making such handles? This eliminates the need to keep a centralized database of these things. Anyone can have as many handles as they want, and use them as they see fit. This places interoperability in the hands of the user; if someone wants their information shared between systems, they will continue to use the same handle.
