I think the spec has a 'type 4' which uses a pseudo-random number
instead of the MAC address, and the UUIDs generated here (mac OS
10.4.7) by uuidgen seem to be of this type :
D9201B74-B33E-4A72-8C06-3B33781F3396
where the first digit of the 3rd group indicates the type.

but I second Dar's concern over the "bona-fide" qualifier. Microsoft's
implementation has been criticized as being unsecure - the MAC id can
still be identified from the guid, and therefore documents can be
trace to their owners - that's how the writer of the Melissa virus was
found. The "standard" way of generating a guid involves the MAC id and
a time string - are you looking for something more secure than that?
