When I first started writing the Import tool I tried examining the UUID pattern that RW was using, and I couldn't marry up the UUIDs in the RW export files to any particular RFC-based UUID pattern.
My hope was that I could use the UUID pattern that included the date/time of creation of the UUID in order to create what would be a guaranteed UUID for the generated import tool. But without a guarantee that RW uses standard UUID patterns I wasn't able to guarantee that any self-generated UUIDs wouldn't conflict in the future with a UUID created internally by RW.
