Couldn't we just register a URN NID for this? It seems that one has to go
through fewer hurdles, and no matter how transient I believe that it's a useful
thing to identify.

Yes, that's possible and probably would cause less eyebrows being raised...
It also doesn't seem like a lot of work, registration doesn't require
specifying the behaviour of the beast (which we'd leave where it is today). We
could take the urn:transient-data NID, or urn:data-handle (whichever way the
bike is shed today) and toss a UUID at the end of it; then declare victory.
If you go that way I'd recommend a UUID + a user-defined suffix; this
allows implementations to generate less UUIDs; for instance a single one
per session plus a sequence number.
