To extend Anthony's idea slightly further it might be useful to create a bot script that if you want a UUID for an object in the OSM DB, it can tag the object with a new UUID and return that, or simply return the any existing UUIDs, this would take care of things like Flickr/osmfuel/wikipedia needing to find out the UUID if they get a node/way/relation ID.
