hi Bill, yeah, that's what I'll do. It's not webassembly specific, more web specific. GUIDs are used in web dev when you want a unique DB key without having to go to the DB first to generate it. The entropy length is chosen so that a collision should not happen within a billion years or something ridiculous like that. Rolling my own was pretty straightforward, and this isn't going in avionics! :-)
