IIRC the discussion about what to demand from stanzas IDs is pretty old and comes up once in while. I think there a good reasons *not* to demand anything from the stanza ID value, besides what is currently required by the current XMPP RFCs. There are, for example, constraint devices that want to communicate using XMPP from which requiring UUIDs as stanzas IDs would be overkill. But I agree with you that a baseline method would be desirable for certain cases. That is what http://geekplace.eu/xeps/xep-mid/xep-mid.html tries to address. - Florian
