I think the idea behind Vaughen suggestions is to address the issue of sections of different UUIDs being identical. You may have unique two 35 character UUIDs in which the first 8 characters are identical (fairly common).
I think Vaughan is suggesting that by hashing these two UUIDs then grabbing the first 8 characters you have a better chance of getting a unique value. The way I understand it is that UUIDs are not random but they should always be unique. If CF is generating identical UUIDs its doing something wrong.
