[Cosmo-dev] testing with the same .ics files

[Randy Letness]

I recently discovered that if two Chandler clients import the same .ics 
file, that the uuids of the items imported will be the same in both 
clients.  This means if both clients publish to the same server, they 
have access to each other's items and may see unexpected results.

For example if two users download the same .ics file from a public 
source (say a baseball schedule or something) and publish, the clients 
will end up unknowingly sharing these items.

The same thing goes for testing where a lot of clients are using the 
same .ics file to create collections.

This doesn't seem very desirable.  I talked to Jeffrey and he said we 
might have to live with this for preview due to time constraints.  There 
is not much Cosmo can do because of the "one big item soup" design that 
assumes items are globally unique.  Thoughts?
