Well, it's 100% ok if one implements own ids with more descriptive
strings which are not conforming to the UUID or any other id standard.
My only concern is that then the result should be better not named UUID
because that's already (since many years) the official name of the
ids from DCE 1.1 and ISO/IEC 11578:1996. It is like using an object
addressing scheme producing strings like "foo!bar!quux" but calling
them "URLs"... ;-)
