My preferred scenario would be to have an identifier on every node indeed. Not having that, I could live with identifiers for at least some types, such as entry subtypes and a few more. If it cannot be UID, so be it.

What is the meaning of overhead here? Processing time? Memory/disk space? According to which criteria the overhead is quantified as "quite a lot"?

You can see I'm not really convinced here :)

perfectly reasonable ... But I actually did calculations a few years ago on the overhead imposed by ISO 13606, which would force UIDs everywhere. It's quite significant based on a reasonable sample of mixed EHR data, mainly because Guids are much longer than a lot of values. I will try to locate this. But it's not hard to replicate.

When one is purchasing terabyte RAID 10 secure storage, adding another 20% or even 10% starts to matter.
