That seems like overkill, if not outright encouragement of people to
come up with yet other nonstandard formats for UUIDs.
I think the question we have to answer is whether we want to be
complicit in the spreading of a nonstandard UUID format. Even if
we answer "yes" for this HP case, it doesn't follow that we should
create a mechanism for anybody to do anything with 'em. That way
lies the madness people already have to cope with for datetime
data :-(
