The current document has been updated to include a brief discussion of abstract name generation to "ensure" that names are unique.
The paragraph below has been added
"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."
