Subject: RE: Unique handle generation

Back to requirements...

Are there any objections to these, with number 4 amended as suggested by
Paul George:

[1] Every object MUST have an associated object identifier.

[2] Object identifiers MUST be globally unique.

[3] An object's identifier MUST NOT change during the lifetime of the
object, even if administrative control of the object changes over time.

[4] An object identifier MUST contain information that unambiguously
identifies both the object and the object's administrative repository at
time of creation.

[5] Object identifier format SHOULD be easily parsed and understood by
humans.
