I'd definitely agree that it should be a field, but without semantics attached to it, I'm not sure that it would even make sense to agree on what the name should be. Giewiki, for example, uses 'id' for what has a UUID format, but without any guarantee that the associated content is the same - indeed, you also have to specify a version number, and even then, a server might allow a tiddler to be changed without incrementing the version number.
But if anyone can think of an assertion that can safely be made if you can identify a specific field as being a UUID, please tell me. :-) Poul On 16 Nov., 20:27, [email protected] wrote: > On Wed, 16 Nov 2011, PMario wrote: > > As Jeremy said the easiest way to use UUIDs would be, to use it as a > > tiddler title.
