I see that issue as being related to the CNRI handle plugin/server, which a lot 
of institutions don't use at all, not the internal handling of "handle" 
prefixes in Dspace itself...  if we can at least avoid assuming handle prefixes 
are Integers in Dspace, then everything internal (ie. everything except 
resolution of http://hdl.handle.net/xx/xxx handles) will work.

Once that is sorted, we can work on DS-357 and fix up the CNRI handle plugin 
for people who subscribe to that service and wish to have non-Integer handles.

Cheers,

Kim
