Yes, I also thought certainly this must have been discussed before. I
did try searching the list, but I think the relevant search terms are
too common, short ("ID", etc.) and/or too close to unrelated things
(i.e. CUSTOM_ID when I am looking for "custom ID", etc.) to produce
any good results. Or maybe my search-fu is just bad.
although i undersatnd the whole thing as readable id's. dunno if that
is the prupose.
Essentially, yes, more readable. But also shorter, and perhaps most
importantly, /meaningful/.
maybe something like a timestamp and then the usual id would give you
pretty good uniqueness.
The uniqueness I outlined in OP (down to minute) is plenty enough for
my use-case. The /last/ thing I want to do is to go the other way, and
make the ID even longer!
I do appreciate all the replies so far. However as I plan on relying
on this to implement some quite critical functionality for a package I
am working on (a sort of Zettelkasten / TiddlyWiki in Orgmode if you
will) I would feel a lot more comfortable with some additional
reassurences that what I am planning is not some crazy or bad idea.
Thanks,
