Replying myself just to be clear, when I say UUID I do not mean the RFC
definition of it, just the english one: Unique User IDentifier.
It can be anything, even an email address for what I care.
Any string that can be unique will do, it only needs to be abstract as
it should be made possible to represent anything as an Identity: A user,
a group, a machine, a service, a process, an abstract concept like
"Authenticated user", or "everyone" too in theory.
Simo.
