"Ugly"??  Seriously?  You're worried about "ugly"?!?  Ugly to whom?  To you?
A human?  C'mon Rod -- you can do better than "ugly"!  You're absolutely
right about LSIDs.  I'm astonished that you still cling to the "ugly"
argument against UUIDs!  The sooner we can get past this foolish notion that
GUIDs are supposed to be optimized for human eyeballs, the better.
