Re: [chairs] Unique OASIS document identifiers

[Daniel Greenwood <dang@MIT.EDU>]

I can live with Eve's suggestion.  Among other things, it reflects the
consensus this group already achieved, it is reasonable, it gets the job
done and, perhaps best of all, it has the advantage of almost certainly
assuring closure on a range of debate that has stretched beyond the point of
diminishing returns.
