Subject: Re: [wsrp-wsia] [I#190] Intent and scope of uniqueness of theentityInstanceID in the RuntimeContext
The intent of entityInstanceKey is Consumer assistance in disambiguating between multiple uses of an entity on a "page". Producer implementations can certainly make choices such that this is not useful for such assistance, but it will be helpful for many implementations. My take from the discussion to-date (and what I think the language says) is that this key (when supplied) is unique for this Consumer. Current language: entityInstanceKey: A unique, opaque string the Consumer MAY supply as a reference to this use of the entity. This reference MAY be used by the entity to properly separate data for multiple instances of the entity within any Producer-defined data sharing mechanisms. Since this reference may be used as such a key, its length MUST be less than 256 bytes and Consumers SHOULD keep it as short as possible.

The spec is unclear about the difference between the producer-generated entityHandle and consumer-generated entityInstanceID. It appears that the producer will have to use both entityHandle and entityInstanceID to uniquely associate data with an entity. However, or producers not offering registration, the consumer generated entityInstanceID (along with entityHandle) is not adequate for guaranteeing uniqueness on the producer end. Resolution:
