The Identifier/Identity definitions in 
draft-padma-ideas-problem-statement-01.txt is a good start, it fails in 
the appreviations used. (There is NO abbreviation for Identity!)

ID should NOT be the appreviation of Identitfier.  People will default 
to thinking 'Identity' when they see it.  Think about people outside our 
discussion group.

I propose 'IDf' for Identifier.  'ID' is too owned by Identity.

I will be working on proposed wording to improve these definitions.
