Subject: EntityDescriptorType ID attribute

The EntityDescriptorType complex type contains an optional attribute  
'ID'.

SAML2Meta is clear that the value of this attribute can only be  
assumed to be document-unique. Would it be harmful to profile the use  
of this attribute to be globally unique? If so, would an extension be  
a better strategy?
