Hmm, I'd like to hear the argument of why they're a kludge. Many nonce systems utilize an incrementing counter, I don't see why this mechanism would be any different. > Anyway, it is actually a bit nice to have a separate > transaction/message ID which for example could be strictly > sequential. The syntax should preferably be limited to Base64. I don't see how a sequentially incrementing transaction / message ID would be different from a nano-second precise datetime value. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Worlds First Web Payments Workshop http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
