It might make sense to simply allow IDs to follow the UUID v4 and UUID v5 specs.  That way organizations that want to use deterministic IDs can, while those that don't have no need to.  Ultimately because of how the UUID spec works out both will have the same length, and an outside observer will only notice a single character change between the two.

I don't necessarily see an issue w/ this, BUT if they do this, then
author of the object MUST NOT revision their object, and they can't
even revoke the object either, since the hash of the revoked object
will not match the original object.
