I'm actually not advocating a namespaced scheme like the one proposed  
there, nor am I proposing we track ids anywhere. I'm saying we should  
make sure ids are semantically descriptive, and solve the problem of  
id collisions if and when we have it.

Given the chatter on IRC (it's been in the Windmill channel only  
because that's where it started, sorry about that!) I think it is  
necessary to do this on this list. Sorry to create this extra work,  
but I think working out this issue now in this forum will really help  
us work in the future.
