/ Richard Tobin <richard@inf.ed.ac.uk> was heard to say:
| Um. Having one implementation where you can rely on that doesn't seem
| very useful: people will write pipelines that work in your
| implementation and then find they don't work in others. It's like
| relying on argument evaluation order, or how a++ + a++ comes out in a
| given C compiler. If there's a need for non-duplication between
| documents it should either be required or there should be a switch to
| guarantee it.
So what do folks think? Sequential numbers, some guarantee of global
uniqueness, or implementation defined?
Be seeing you,
norm
