The term "globally unique" is a widely understood term of art that is perfectly acceptable to use. We don't need to worry about the fact that it's technically possible that sometime before the eventual heat death of the universe it may be possible for two IDs generated in such a way that they could be called "globally unique" to not be unique. The probability is close enough to zero to be negligible. We can always point to the definition in the glossary section of the spec if you're worried about this. —Sam _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
