nothing's wrong with GUIDs if you have one asset service. that way
when you get a GUID/UUID for an asset, you go to that one asset
service and say "okay.. gimme the (meta)data for this asset." it's a
little more difficult if you have more than one asset service cause
the UUID itself doesn't tell you what service to go to in order to
find an asset's (meta)data.

in order to find asset (meta)data from a GUID, you either have to have
a global registry where you can do UUID to asset service mapping or
you ship around the UUID and the location of the asset service. The
latter is essentially what we're talking about in OGP where asset caps
will probably look something like
http://example.com/assets/EBBD86E3-A274-4CD1-A86A-405AABCB7BF9 , where
"http://example.com/assets/" is the location of the service and
"EBBD86E3-A274-4CD1-A86A-405AABCB7BF9" is the UUID of the asset.
