I suggested using "Content-ID" as a globally unique originator-supplied identifier. You replied in one part that "this cannot be used in a secure and verifiable fashion" which I interpret as implying that you'd somehow like the recipient to be able to verify that the content actually corresponds to the identifier, without having to take the word of the supplier of the content. But later, you argued for content identifiers to have domains, rather than global scope. I don't see why anyone would bother providing something that was both secure and verifiable and didn't have global uniqueness. Maybe you meant something else by "the scope of the content-identifier"?
