Artifact artf3064 : (1741) Uniqueness Best Practices

Tracker:	Naming Comments by Frank
Title:	(1741) Uniqueness Best Practices
Description:	provide some examples/best-practices of how to ensure the uniqueness of the Address. Personally, I liked the suggestion of adding a UUID into the Address value, which would make it easier to ensure the global uniqueness than to rely solely on the ip-names plus some serial number or such (not sure who suggested this...).

Now in document

"The first property, global uniqueness in both space and time, can be achieved by a number of means.  Implementers are free to choose any name 
generation scheme that they wish to use provided the scheme generates unique names.  Some options include various combinations and hashes of public 
keys, MAC addresses, Generating IP address (not current web service endpoint address as that may change), timestamp, random number, etc.  In 
particular, the authors of this document recommend that name generators refer to RFC 4122 which motivates and describes the UUIDs or Universally 
Unique IDs."
