Your Leo id is part of every so-called gnx, the unique, immutable identifier of each node. This is required to make clones work reliably. Time stamps are not enough: two separate people, in two separate places, might make a node with the same time stamp. Thus, gnx's must consist of a time component and a "space" (id) component.
