Hi David,
what is the difference/advantage of this idea over using uuidgen as
Org does now?
Thanks.

Attached patch for org-id adds a new function `org-id-uuid' that
returns a random (version 4) uuid following the format and suggestions
in RFC 4122:
- it collects some random, system ans user specific data
- creates a md5 hash for this data to obtain the require 32 octets
- flips the correct bits to indicate a random uuid
Using the elisp method to create a random uuid can be customized by
setting `org-id-method' to 'uuid.
In addition `org-id-new' throws an error when the call to
`org-id-uuid-program' returns something that does not look like a
uuid.[1]
