Re: [webauthn] "version 4 GUID" should be "version 4 UUID"

I've been party to specs that have specified identifiers as such, eg 
saml-core-2.0-os.pdf, and that has apparently worked out in practice 
as far as I know. so I suppose I'm ok with doing that. In the latter 
SAMLv2 core spec, we say..
> The mechanism by which a SAML system entity ensures that the 
identifier is unique is left to the implementation. In the case that a
 random or pseudorandom technique is employed, the probability of two 
randomly chosen identifiers being identical MUST be less than or equal
 to 2^-128 and SHOULD be less than or equal to 2^-160. This 
requirement MAY be met by encoding a randomly chosen value between 128
 and 160 bits in length.
