Just to connect this thread with the well-deserved resurgence of interest in Rugby... Imagine a Rugby-based registry that works as follows: - A developer submits a well-defined set of parameters (e.g. developer's name, company (if relevant), project, version, date) to a Rugby service. - The reponse is an ID guaranteed to be unique because only (the single instance of!) that service distributes them. - Anyone can subsequently supply the ID to the service and get back the identification data from the initial request.
