It would certainly make import scripts a lot simpler if there was an attribute similar to UUID which was merely a "uniqueness" string (of arbitrary type). This would allow any import scripts to use whatever strings they liked, rather than having to generate a UUID format string from an arbitrary string.

(There are rules in the RFC about UUID format about how you could do this, but it isn't simple to script inside XSLT.)
