Something else to line up for 2.1/3.0?
+1, sounds good.

I agree. I also agree with Gary that a new package probably does not make sense.
From a quick look at http://www.opengroup.org/dce/info/draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt, it looks to me, btw that this essentially *is* the MS GUID. It will be interesting to see how they get the MAC address or if they punt that and use random bits (giving up the real "G"). In any case, I am sure that this will make a useful addition to lang.

Another UUID extension I'd like to see and use is a GUID implementation, that's what MS calls a UUID.
WRT to lang.uuid, I am not sure that a new namespace is justified
though.
I'd just put it in .lang like other "basic" types.
