It's that "what the protocol should do" (in scope) vs. >the "how the protocol should do it" (out of scope) thing again. What do you mean by unique? Locally in the registrar? In the Registry? In the world? Should the handle change when an object is moved between registrars? Should the handle be able to not only identify the object but also where the object is? I.e. a bit more specific requirements would help. It is the lack of answers to these questions the discussion on the syntax is so hard. paf
