Req. Nb	ID	Description	Source	Areas	Dependencies	Status	Date
JM4.3	47	The Activity ID MUST be suitable for manual transfer by a human (In case of problems with the Activity). Therefore, the Activity ID MUST contain only 7-bits non-blank printable characters (such as MIME64 or GUID), or 7-bits XML with non-meaningful blanks and newlines, and MUST also NOT be too long	Etienne Urbah	Activity Management, Information Service	JM4	Proposed	2010-03-17

In case any human user detects any problem with an Activity, it is very useful that the Activity is fully identified by a (reasonably) short string of characters that one may read at the screen and print or even manually copy on a piece of paper, for transfer to a human expert investigating the problem
If the Activity ID begins with this readable and printable full identifier, this requirement does NOT forbid the Activity ID to contain additional opaque information, as long as this additional information is also readable and printable (in order to prevent the screen display to be inappropriately cleared with 'ESC [ 2 J' or the printer to unduly spoil hundreds of pages of paper with 'FF FF FF ...')
This requirement should be weighted against possibly conflicting requirements requesting opaque Activity IDs
