ic, I am currently generating globally unique identifiers for all documents no matter what collection they are in. This would of course all my application to make use of replication without fear of documents in different collections colliding. However, this wouldn't work for all applications, which is why I was suggesting the concatenation of the collection identifier with the document identifier.
