Currently we are just using reverse domain IDs, e.g. com.yahoo.widget.stockticker. Do we think GUIDs are really necessary? We've talked about moving to them here, but I'm not sure what it ultimately gets us.

I have a suggestion for the name of the id element mentioned in section 3.12.


You could call it a guidget - a global unique identifier for a widget. This name also implies a possible implementation - each widget can be given a random 128 (or 256) bit identifier. It works for COM objects. Will probably work here as well.
