To make globally unique entity tags really work you need to
have a notation, and a way to administer the name space. This
is what I suggested in my previous mail. If you don't do that,
a proxy will not be able to recognize globally unique tags
and treat them specially.
Also, when you introduce globally unique tags, you need to
make sure that independent parties don't generate conflicts.
That is why the name space needs to be administered.
Have fun,
