I think the way we've been talking talking previously is to use the
file path as default. The same would apply to metadata files per se
(for named graph support).

This is a trick issue, BTW. Ideally you want a globally unique IRI
with which you can also locate the document. But that's not realistic
in many desktop scenarios, so I think you're left with two choices:

1) the one above
2) using a URI-encoded UUID

Each has its trade-offs.
