Yes, that was the original intent, and even the current intent.  And while that is necessary, it may not be sufficient for long supply chains where ownership passes from one to another.  The LDevID is an owner-assigned name, and so the question is this: when an owner goes to transfer, does it need to use the IDevID again or should it use the LDevID?  There are benefits and drawbacks to both, but if the LDevID is used, then it is used as the IDevID would have been as part of that transfer.  The nice thing about FDO is that it keeps an entire record of these sorts of transfers.
