I've mentioned this before, but I don't think /any/ attempt to create an 
ID that has embedded meaning will work, because any attempt to do that 
in the past has failed or clashed (ISBNs, UPCs, etc.). I also don't want 
IDs that are more than 60 characters long, as they're inevitably loaded 
in a URL, and that makes the URL difficult to pass around.
