One discussion we haven't had is whether we can combine COMI-style
identifier hashing as the general solution with optional use of manually
managed identifiers.  This would give us the coverage of "any item from
any YANG module" that we would like to have, but still provide the
opportunity for more optimization in specific modules that can benefit
from tighter representation (including the external/internal identifier
split), which we might be able to subject to a tighter development regime.
