Now that I've got a better grasp on the why's of each option, I think I'm liking your idea just fine. I think the real resistance was to making an ini setting for it. I wonder if there's a way to get roughly ascending uuids (v1-ish) without the security issues that come from having the originating node permanently inscribed on each document... -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
