a collection of ascii characters.

Chris - this misses the WHOLE POINT.  eBusiness is about verification that
the 
right item is referenced.  Pick up the phone right now - call someone and
tell them they have to use "OAG090200" as the data point in their
transaction.

Now try this with "WERTRET-4523-RYJYJRYK-32436-GJDJFJDFJDFHDF".

Also call the warehouse stock manager at Home Depot and ask him if
he has some "10-90-B-7"s in stock.  Humans are darn good at remembering
these 7 digit or less combos within their own little domain.

People can assimulate the unfamiliar thru using the familiar.   

To a mathematician or PhD markup theory buff - they are just collections
of chars - and we need semantic web / RDF / WSDL/ B2B / A2A / Z2Z / F2F
to fix all that.

Guess what - the world wants simple stupid that is obvious and works.
