Subject: First draft of CR-036 (changes to key hashing) uploaded
I have uploaded the first draft of CR-036. As agreed, I have not changed the table. I have not updated the reference to the Leach draft as I believe that was incorporated into CR-002. An updated version of the Leach draft formed the basis of the registration document for a UUID URN Namespace, but that document expired on April 1, 2003. If you want to look at it anyway, you can find it at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mealling-uuid-urn-00.txt There is an online version of the description of the original DCE UUIDs available at http://www.opengroup.org I ended up regenerating keys for 41 entities, all but one of them tModels. Of these, only 9 or 10 would not have been affected by the case-folding change so I think we did the right thing is changing the name space ID used in the algorithm. I think it would be a good idea for someone, ideally with a "little-endian" implementation, to update it with the new name space ID and the case-folding, and check that they produce the same keys.
