Using URI syntax makes it very easy to generate unique identifiers. Note that there are scenarios where you produce Atom feeds from some other source which doesn't come with UUIDs, and if you don't want to introduce a new persistence, you'll need a different way to mint these indentifiers (such as using a constant UUID + something that varies based on the data source entries).
