Doesn't a good model need to be usable for the use cases? (Most of the
debate I have seen on the email list I think boils down to different
people thinking about different use cases.)
If you don't at least explore how identifiers remain globally unique,
even in abstracted form how will you be sure your model actually works
in practice? I"m not advocating one form over another here, but I do
take issue with saying this is outside the scope of work. It would be
a shame to spend a lot of time creating something that is not useful
in the end.
