 Section 7.4 (Generation of Resource Identifiers) states:

 > When generating a random resourcepart, it is RECOMMENDED that the
 > resourcepart be a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), for which
 > the format specified in [UUID] is RECOMMENDED.

 Dave Cridland commented: "I see no compelling reason why the specification
 should require the use of a UUID as a resource identifier for strict
 comformance."
