Because when creating a document you need to mint a *globally valid* unique
identifier whereas when you parse it you just have to deal with *locally
valid* unique identifiers.
Globally valid also means that other systems may start to use that
identifier whereas with a just locally valid identifier that becomes
impossible (which is a desired feature in this case).
